Okay, I have to admit I’m a Cary Grant
fan. (Especially when I realized my post a couple of months ago was also about
a Grant classic.) Taken in by debonair
demeanor and dashing tall, dark, and handsome good looks, I have to agree he is
one of the best actors of all time.
This classic is another WW2 comedy about
a submarine commander who finds himself stuck with a decrepit (and pink) sub, a
con-man executive officer and a group of army nurses. The latter giving him more troubles than
thought possible when the clumsiness of one beautiful nurse wreaks havoc on his
submarine—and his heart.
Again, Grant’s days as a pantomime serve
him well. Especially when the submarine
tilts and the well-endowed nurse falls against him in the narrow hall of the
submarine. His expression is priceless!
It isn’t until the end of the movie that
you learn the clumsy nurse won his heart—and yes, she’s still as clumsy as
ever. When she rear-ends her husband’s
staff car, he takes it in stride as any wise commander would do.
I can’t think of a favorite scene,
because the whole movie that turns disaster into fun is a must see in my book.
Your Turn: Do you have a favorite Cary Grant Movie?
