Their chemistry is so good it may even eclipse (just) that between Grant and Hepburn. Ralph Bellamy is fantastic as well, did you catch that little inside joke where cary Grant is describing Rosalind Russell's husband-to-be as 'he looks a lot like that actor, Ralph Bellamy.'
The screenplay was written by Charles Lederer who was something of a legend, he also penned Monkey Business, gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the original Oceans Eleven and the Brando version of Mutiny On the Bounty. I also think this may be Howard Hawks' best film. So much damn win in this film, it really did deserve a more conclusive review from you
well, why don't you write a conclusive review?! I'm a very busy lady, don't you know? I've got my eyelids to examine in several different mirrors, site sales to peruse, and baklava to eat. besides, I'm afraid I'm no good at writing movie reviews. i wish I was but, alas, my nobelesque greatness doesn't quite stretch into the world of films. and anyway I usually have to watch a thing more than once (which i may do) in order to process it fully. also what is there to say about it, really? other than it was sparklingly funny and clever. I don't know why it should come as a surpise to me at this point that people in the old days had personality and yet it always somehow does. I guess because the technology was a bit crude so you expect people to be too? and yet here are cary grant and Rosalind russell: personality in spades. I mean, I think that's the main thing I got out of watching it. I need to watch MORE old films. I defo could use more cary grant in my life.Their chemistry is so good it may even eclipse (just) that between Grant and Hepburn.

Now now that’s a bit naughty of you Urbanus, but I will take this opportunity to say I have revised my opinion of Rifke, she seems like a thoroughly decent rabbit
Maybe first impressions are not always the correct ones?
oh very decent of you to say, kind sir. I have always thought of myself as a rather decent rabbit. still one must remember that I am also an extreme rabbit, though what that means I haven't yet figured out. you seem decent yourself. and to answer your question, I think the beard works with the quiff.Now now that’s a bit naughty of you Urbanus, but I will take this opportunity to say I have revised my opinion of Rifke, she seems like a thoroughly decent rabbit
And to Rifke, please indulge yourself by finishing the triumvirate of great screwball comedies by watching Bringing Up Baby. I actually rate it number 2 just in behind Friday. Or perhaps you’ve seen it already.
“I’m coming Mr Peabody!!!”

Danish/icelandic coming of age drama about two boys in a remote fishing village in Iceland. This film will probably make you remember your youth and places and people you thought you had forgotten about.
As the boys discover girls they also discover each other and the acting by these new young actors is brilliant. The best icelandic film since the 2003 film "Noi Albinoi".
A film that will leave you feeling a whole range of emotions.
