Valentines day!
I absolutely adore this movie. I first saw it on TCM while staying with my mom who was in hospital at the time and it offered me a much needed laugh and relief. The coat/dress tearing scene still makes me collapse in hysterics.
It's amazing how good this one stnads up. The direction is so tioght and everyone, especially the two leads are at the top of their game.
It was scientifically impossible to not like this film , so light & fun .
It's such a treat !!!
Well, millions did not. In fact, in 1938 it bombed so bad at the box office that no studio in Hollywood would hire her. Hepburn had to return to New York with her proverbial tail between her legs. but she bounced back, soon enough, as she always did.
As usual I learn SO much from Tired Old Queen!!! The behind the scenes info that most of us would never know, plus Steve’s lightning fast wit and colorful, hysterical, movie critiques always leaves me laughing and entertained! Thank you so much TOQ and Team for making my day brighter!!! :):):)
Thank you SO much for watching and for the lovely compliments! Steve
I love this movie, though I heard that when it was released it was a bomb, and Hepburn was labeled as box office poison which is why she went to Broadway and did "Philadelphia Story" and being smart, bought the movie rights. And went back to Hollywood and made "Philadelphia Story" with Cary Grant. I also agree with you about Grant and Hepburn being a much better duo than Tracy and Hepburn.
Considering how famous it is now,...Ironic , ain't it? LOL! Thanks so much for watching!
Playwright Phillip Barry was a good friend of Hepburn, which is why he sold her the screen rights to his play, which was specifically written for her.
Can't recall the name of the movie but while this bombed what really got Hepburn, labeld poison was the one with Cary where she impersonates a boy.
You're right, it was Sylvia Scarlett! Which honestly was not a great movie if I remember correctly. @@joeburinskas8672
@@joeburinskas8672 Sylvia Scarlet. But it was Mary, Queen of Scots that REALLY bombed her film career for a while. Terrible movie, and she was terrible in it.
Thank you for this, I love this film so much (up there with my other favourite comedy, The Lady Eve), that when I was a teenager, I used to imitate Katherine Hepburn's Susan and dream of becoming a Susan . As for Cary Grant, there are not enough superlatives in the English language.. Even when he is in close-up, you can feel he is acting with his whole body.
Cary was the most underrated actor of the Golden Years! He could do it all and seemingly effortlessly! I adore him!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ British film historian David Thomson once wrote that he believes Cary Grant is the best film actor of all time. And Thomson can be a really tough critic.
One of the best Screwball Comedies ever made! Thanks Steve.❤ Happy Valentine's Day to you and Johnny!❤❤❤
You too and thanks for watching!!! Steve
Totally agree with you about the Hepburn Grant combination being magic. I loved them both in Holiday so much. That is one seriously underrated movie. And Spencer Tracy is so supercilious in most of his movies that I just want to slap him.
Thanks for another wonderful movie review and Happy Valentine’s! 🎉
So glad you agree with me! Thanks for watching! Steve
I always knew Katherine Hepburn was a great actress, but this is the only time that I found her to be absolutely adorable on screen. (And I'm as gay as a box of birds.) For me, this is her best performance - as it is so outside of her wheelhouse. Sure, Walter helped her. It is one thing to accept help and quite another to embrace it. One of the all-time great screen comedies that rewards repeat viewings with new discoveries every time. After discovering the leopard in the bathroom, Cary comes running out to Kate and exclaims "Susan you must get out of this apartment immediately !" She earnestly replies "But I can't - I have a lease." Everybody involved with this film was at the top of their game.
Absolutely! She was always game to learn, if you could get her to listen long enough! LOL! I'll take your box of birds anyday!!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks again, Steve, for the sunshine you bring to everyone.- As bright as your yellow roses! Happy Valentine's Day to Steve, Johnny, and the gang at TOQ! ❣️
Many thanks! Happy Valentine's Day!!!
I want you to know that your videos have brought me so much joy over the years.
Thank you Steve and Johnny! ❤
Our grteat pleasure! Thank you so much for watching and letting us know how much to like what we're doing. All The Best; Steve & Johnny
I absolutely love your reviews. Katherine Hepburn is a local legend in Montgomery, AL. In 1939 she came through Montgomery playing The Little Foxes. Tickets for the show were sold out the same day that they were made available. People are still talking about it.
WOW! What I would have done to see her in " The Little Foxes". I never knew she attempted it. She was probably very good ,if a might young. I know she toured "The Philadelphia Story". for ages. Good to hear from you , as always. Big Hugs!
Don’t know which I love more this film or your impersonations. This has long been a favourite of mine .. so happy you reviewed it Steve. Happy Valentine’s day to you Steve . Another great review love, love, love it.
Thank you so much! Right back at ya! Steve
I fall in love with this movie, when I saw it at 19 and lost count, how many times I have seen it. But now I have also your version, which is a cherry on top. Thank you and have a great valentine day!
Well, thank you very much!
Steve...
Thanks for mentioning "What's Up, Doc?", because if you didn't, I would have.
Paul
Another hilarious movie!
I'm one of those people who thinks that "What's Up Doc?" is a far, far superior comedy to "Bringing Up Baby."
@@originalhgc I won't argue with that! There both hilarious!
I knew you would! LOL!
@@etherealtb6021 Absolutely! Madeline Kahan!!!
🥰Well, don't you look handsome !
I recently watched a great documentary on Cary Grant and he had alot of depth under that Hollywood facade. I'll definitely give this movie a watch.
There's nothing tired or old about you Steve ! You still got it.
I just wish I could remember half the time where I put it. But, thansk for the lovely compliment Perrie. Much appreciated! Steve
Hilarious Steve! Loved hearing the back story and laughed out loud hearing and watching you do Katherine Hepburn lol
So glad you liked it! Steve
Hello Steve! Met you on the 1 train today and just wanted to thank you again for the most refreshing and encouraging conversation I’ve had in a long time! Thank you so much again, and hope to chat again soon! :)
It was So delightful! You were boith such fun. I wish you every great success. Keep at it, create your own work as much as possible, surround youself with creative positive people who are happy for you and with themselves and above all...avoid dogs on the subway!!! LOL! Please stay in touich and have a wonderful weekend! Steve
How lucky!
I just love this movie. Hepburn and Grant were perfect together. Also fantastic cast.
It's got a cast of top flight character actors in every role!
Steve, another month, another great pick! I love when the aunt hears of David’s impending marriage and says, “Susan, I forbid it!” Happy Valentine’s Day to all!
May Robson, such a wonderful actress! So funny!
Your review was delightful Steve...really it was (as Kate would say)! You know, Howard Hawks was right, there wasn't the obligatory "straight man" in sight during this comedy. Thanks for the Valentine's Day cheer and I'm gonna screen BRINGING UP BABY and HIS GIRL FRIDAY this week for sure now.
Wow! A collasal double bill! Howard Hawks Perefection!
So glad to see you back, Steve! I treasure every one of your reviews. Thanks for your enthusiasm and keeping classic films alive! ❤I buy almost everything you review that I haven’t seen!
Hooray! Misssion accomplished! Happy Valentine's Dat! Steve
Happy Valentine's Day, Steve and Johnny. After your review, seeing Bringing Up Baby again will be like watching a brand-new movie for me. Thanks. You make these cinematic gems come to life. Hugs to you.
I'm so glad and thanks so much for watching! Steve
Charlie Ruggles like in Ruggles of Red Gap & Trouble in Paradise is absolutely incredible. I only learned this year that decades later he was the guy who gave Herman Munster his driving license.
I would have married him if I ever encountered him. ADORABLE!!!
Amazing grace! Your animated explanations in and of themselves truly define the term "screwball comedy".
LOL ! You made mu night! Thanks so much! Steve
Thanks for another wonderful review of a classic film. Your impersonation of Katherine Hepburn made me laugh out loud, luckily I'm watching it on my own 😂
That's the nicest compliment imaginable! Many thanks!
Dear Steve, You can't say enough about this gorgeous, timeless film and the way it is played, and I adore your impression of Katharine Hepburn talking through her teeth. You have to see Cary Grant in screwball comedies to realise what a brilliant actor he was, how sensational his timing was, and what perfect diction he had - no matter how quickly he says "intercostal clavicle" you can hear every word, and the dialogue in the film is screamingly funny. And I don't think Katharine Hepburn has ever looked so feminine (not a word I'd use of her normally) as she does in this. The fact that they're having fun shows, and I love the whole cast (including the dog)! Seeing Charles Ruggles imitating a leopard call, hearing Cary Grant's fiancee breaking off their engagement because he's not serious enough and is just a butterfly - you can't ask for more. I truly don't understand why it only became successful later, over time, and I totally agree that it's a far greater pleasure to watch Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant together than when she is paired with Spencer Tracy (talk about the iron hand in the iron glove!). Thank you for such a pleasure of a review. Best wishes, Alida
Hooray! I'm so pleased you liked it! I love the way Hepburn wears clothes, she's always so comfortable. Cary was a genius. Period. And breathtaling to boot. Even in glasses , which for me, made him twice a sexy. Wonderful film.
This movie is such fun and escapism that you can't help but fall in love with it and forget about whatever funk you were in. I always wondered if it was really Kate who was interacting with and touching the leopard, it would be just like her because she was so fearless and adventurous ( Cary's scenes seemed to have a sheet of glass between him and the leopard). And I too absolutely adore Charlie Ruggles, I don't think he really got enough recognition for his fine acting. I think the only really "normal" character in the film was Robson, although a bit eccentric. Anyway Happy Valentine's Day Steve 💘💌 and thank you.
I adore Charlie Ruggles!!! The absolute cutest!
One of my all time favorite movies. They're complete MAGIC, together. So thankful my mom instilled her love of classic movies, in me❤
Hooray for Mom! Thanks for watching! Steve
Love, love, love it when you do a Hepburn imitation, Steve!! Happy Valentine's Day!!
Thanks so much!
Katharine Hepburn invented the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope in this movie. You're right, she was more fun in her movies with Cary Grant than in the Spencer Tracy movies.
She was more liberated and more zany..
Ahh, Steve. Always a treat to see you.
Happy Valentine's Day, boys💜💜
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Love this movie and, of course, your impressions. Thanks again Steve. It's always a pleasure.
Thank you so much for watching! Steve
Excellent review Steve, both informative and entertaining. In these dark times your reappraisals of old movies are a ray of sunshine in which the anxious citizen can luxuriate in a calming nostalgia for a better time.
Well, that's quite a compliment and very appreciated! many Thanks!
OMG, you've done it again, Steve -- this is one of my all time favorite movies and I've lost count of how many times I've seen it as I adore it so, and now I find myself compelled to watch it again this evening due to your absolutely delightful review, which no doubt will make seeing it again all the more fun! Bravo!
Thanks so much for watching! Happy Valentine's Day!
I can't give you anything but love, baby! And that's the truth!! I've seen this maybe a dozen times over the years and it's always a laugh out loud.(especially the torn dress sequence). I see what you mean about Tracy and Hepburn, although I never thought about it before. Now, I love Spencer Tracy (altough I love Cary Grant more, for other reasons), and Tracy is great in his own way but yes, there is that. Hawks did the rat-a-tat-tat dialogue of His Girl Friday, and the Ball of Fire's Stanwyck, with its slew of great character actors and, my favorite, The Big Sleep with my alter-ego Bogart (when it's not being Stanwyck) and they are all on anybody's top, let's say, 100 film lists. It's interesting, how we all have our favorites. They get to be like family members , so many of them, from Coburn to the 2 Ethel's, Barrymore and Waters, and all the Dames and dames, and so many who you always enjoy being with, cozy and comfortable. Like an eternal spring. They bring out the best in us. And as I sang at the very beginning ~ I can't give you anything but love, baby.Thanks, Steve!
What would we do without those incredible character actors who just made everything so much better. I can never parise them enough.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Me, too. They are like family members you love spending with.
This comedy is so incredible and well acted its really leaves you wanting more. Ive watched it so many times❤
I love this one two/ The team of Kate & Cary can't be beat!
This is comfort food for me. Every few years I catch the flu or now Covid and need a good classic to get me thru the fever. Bringing Up Baby is chicken noodle soup for me. I adore it and everyone in it. ❤
It works wonders.
Happy Mardi Gras, Steve and Johnny!
Oooh La la! Merci!
This is such a good one. Hawks was still mostly known for action and gangster films, Grant was not that big yet (The Awful Truth hadn't come out yet) and Hepburn, as you explained, couldn't do comedy. This movie shouldn't have worked at all but it did and did it so well.
That often happens...thankfully!
One of my favorite comedies EVER!
Mine too!
What a joy to see Steve again! Happy Valentine's Day, Mr. Hayes. You may rob my robson anytime!
I'll give you an hour to cut that out!
Your review of this wonderful classic is nearly as entertaining as the movie itself! The stars would have loved to hear your take-offs of them. Going to watch it today thanks to you!
I'm so glad you think so. I sometimes fear that their all waiting for me at "The Pearly Gates" with axes in hand. LOL!
I can't help it, Steve, but I just love, love Cary Grant. After reading some biographies, I came to admire him, and his overcoming spirit, after starting life with such emotional challenges and neglect.
Don't help it! I don't blame you! I adore Cary!! He is and always will be my favorite actor in classic films. he could do it all.
Cary Grant is greatest of the debonair actors of hollywood GOLDEN ERA. SO MANY DAMN MEMORABLE ROLES starting with GUNGA DIN and ending with CHARADE I believe.
@@markr.devereux3385
There were a few movies after Charade. They included a charming movie called Father Goose with Leslie Caron, and two more forgettable movies: That Touch of Mink with Doris Day and his last movie Walk, Don’t Run. The last scene of that movie has him being driven away in a car to go to the airport, and as the car turns a corner and disappears from sight, that’s the last moment that Cary Grant would be seen in a movie. It is said that they filmed it that way on purpose as his “goodbye” because it was known that he was retiring and this would be his last film.
Such a fantastic review, Steve! Kudos for explaining such a convoluted crazy plot. I also agree so much on what you say about Katharine's films with Cary versus the ones with Spencer Tracy. Thank you for bringing so much joy to the classic film sphere! Happy Valentine's ❣
Thanks so much, and happy Valentine's Day to you too!
OMG, I love this 🎥 movie! Cary Grant, so funny and Handsome! I didn't realize, he was an acrobat. Thank you for videos, Steve☺
My pleasure! Thank you so much for watching! Steve
Steve - another wonderful review and your Katharine Hepburn is FANTASTIC!!!!!
Shhhhhh! Don't tell her that! LOL! Thanks for watching!
Steve ...you are the best movie reviewer with your insights and off-stage knowledge. Your comparison of Grant vs Tracy as Hepburn's co-stars was illuminating. And I agree. Happy Valentines to Johnny and you..
Oh, thanks so much! Happty Valentine's Day to you too! Steve
I have never seen this film but now I want too!! Thanks Steve for the terrific review!!!..as always 😎❤
Hooray! Misssion accomplished!!!
Charlie Ruggles is very cute - those dimples! I love the clandestine duet "I can't give you anything but love" - they sing well together! Great impersonations Steve!
He was adorable. Just my type!
Just the axe image is hilarious! Thanks for replying to my comment!
Thanks for the initial comment! LOL!
Oh boy, great to see a new review from TOQATM. Made my day Steve. Thank you so much. I loved this movie. 😊
Me too. It's a zany laugh riot from begining to end! Happy Valentine's Day!
I so love your Katherine Hepburn. Brilliant. Have you watched the mini series Archie?
No. I heard he's quite good though.
I love every single minute of this gem of a comedy! A spot-on cast, with Hepburn and Grant the quintessential screwball love match! If you’re experiencing a blue day just put “Bringing Up Baby” to chase those blues away! Happy Valentine’s Day to you both💘
It's always reliable! Steve
What a nice February surprise. I love this movie and as always a great review. Happy Valentines Day.
Thanks so much! Perfect for February!
Steve, this was the PERFECT movie to review for Valentine's Day. Thank you and you guys have a great Valentine's Day
You too! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful. A great way to end the weekend.
I'm so glad you think so! Enjoy! Steve
What a wonderful Valentine's present for all us fans. I saw this movie as a kid on MiamI Beach, where I dragged my pet ocelot everywhere in imitation of Kate. But no imitation is funnier than yours. Thank you, Steve. -- Happy Valentines! 💘💋💝🐆
LOL! My pleasure! Thanks for watching! Steve
Your movie reviews are the best! If only we didn't have to wait a month between each one. But I'll take what I can get!
Well, we do 'em as fast and conveniently as we can. Thanks so much for watching and for wanting more!
Really fun review, Steve! I love your Katharine Hepburn impersonation, but now let's see you do Audrey Hepburn. LOL!
I dunno. Both Hepburns have such distinctive, marvelous, intioxicating, speech patterns. Unique.
I just watched this earlier today! It is so good!
It's very funny.
Wow - you are both aging great - you look great! As always, love the video.
Many thanks....I'll give you an hour to cut that out! Steve
I love your reviews~. They let us "see movies again." :D
What a lovely compliment! Thank you so much! Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Oh, there are more where what came from...and all sincere. :) I'd love for you do share movies all of the way through with your comments on the way. Might you ever consider that? I know that there are some who do that (albeit, comedic-ly).
Maybe 30 years ago, I wrote to MGM asking if they might redo "Westward the Women," and noted several aspects about it that. Iiked. Some DEAR SOUL there sent me a legit SCRIPT of the movie! @@STEVEHAYESTOQ
Not only did the movie fail with critics but it really bombed at the box office because it went WAY over budget. .
In spite of all that, it's simply one of the best comedies. Not to mention the first modern use of "gay" in a movie.
Wonderful all the way around.
One of my favorite movies.
Mine too!
Classic movies make you feel good.
I'm so glad you agree with me! Steve
Hi guys! Just love your video reviews. How are you both doing? This sure was in his early days. I’ll tell ya, these pictures are the only thing I have to take me away from this crazy time we are in now. Stay well……. Brian
Thanks brian! So appreciated!
Loved this and your video on Stage Door! Please do a review of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane
Stay tuned, you never can tell.
I have to say, this is one of my favorites. It used to be shown every couple of months on WOR channel 9 back in the 1970s and I would watch it every time. Needless to say it’s in my current collection of movies.
I wonder if RKO had realized Hepburn was this good at comedy a few years earlier when Screwball was first taking off, if she could have avoided the box-office poison label?
WOR was in New York BTW.
She really learend comic technique doing this one and in her films with cary Grant, who was a natural.
So cute that big Cat 🐈 ❤❤❤❤
The cutest!
This is a case of the film being made way ahead of the sensibilities of the audience. Pandro Berman was ballistic that the film went over budget. Then William Wellman & GUNGA DIN went even more over budget. BRINGING UP BABY, MIDNIGHT, THE LADY EVE, THE PALM BEACH STORY & NO TIME FOR LOVE l watch every time, everywhere they screen. Happy Valentine's Day Steve, Johnnie and everyone at Tired Old Queen
The same to you and thanks for watching! Steve
I watched a review about Katherine Hepburn which posited the idea that audiences wanted to see her cut down to size (because of her personality and such). Even in our elightened times (ha ha) people in comments complain about her "snootiness". Thus, I'm glad there's folks such as youse who celebrate and embrace the more liberated Katherine the Great!
Happy ❤️ Day, Steve!
She was smart, educated, incredibly talented and absolutely original. People hate anyone who goes against the grain. Not me! It was an era of original stars who weren't like anyone else. I celebrate them all! Steve
This is one of my favorite movies! How is bombed I'll never understand. "DAAAAVID!!"
I think it was too fast oaced and zany for most audiences to follow. It was also the Depression and perhaps the exploits of spoiled rich girls made alot of people angry.
Great movie. Great review Steve 😊
Thanks so much!
You are just MAGNIFICENT....More, More, More...How about a Silent Comedy - Marion Davies & Billy Haines in "Show People."
I'll put it on my "to do" list. Thanks for the recommendation and for watching!
This is my favourite film. People always look confused when I say it is (especially to my students!).
It;s very special to many film lovers and one of the great comedies.
Steve, you "OutKatherine" Hepburn. No wonder we love you! ❤
LOL!~ Don't let Kate hear you sday that...I'll give you an hour to cut that out! Thanks so much!
Thank you Steve you made my day
And you make mine!
❤ Happy Valentine's Day!
To you too, Randy! Thanks for watching!
What a wonderful choice! I am the same about Cary and Kate, i think they are the best together.
I agree.
I love this movie so much. I had a friend who wrote her film class term paper on this movie. I never knew there was more existential symbolism in this than three films by Bergman, I think Hawks might have been surprised a well.
Steve, I have a friend who's never seen a classic screwball comedy, should I start he out with "The Philadelphia Story"?
Great job as usual, Your Majesty
You shopuld pronbably start out with either this one of " My Man Godfrey " ( '36) with William Powell and carole Lombard.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Oh, good choice. In the last two weeks I've been privileged to introduce her to "All About Eve" and then "Rebecca". Those are tough acts to follow.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ We chose "The Philadelphia Story". She'd never seen it. There isn't much that's more fun than watching a classic for their first time. It's like I'm seeing it for the first time all over again. (We're doing "The Maltese Falcon" next week).
I'll be back with questions for my Film Guru again. Thanks so very much.
Steve, your reviews are so good and your impressions are so on the money that they were making bringing up baby today they could save the fortune in casting by putting you in every part I would love to see a scene on stage with you playing every part, putting on a bowler hat or a pair of glasses it would be hilarious. Thanks again.
Thanks, BuudY1 You made my day!!!! Happy Valentine's Day!
Great review. Though I would say in Pat and Mike and Desk Set I don't thing Spencer was pushing her down. I find those movies delightful.
Yes, they are. I just happen to like her films with Cary better.
I like the beautiful lamp
Thank you!
I think this is a classic screwball comedy. I can even tolerate KH because of CG and the terrific cast. Happy ❤ Day Steve
Yes, it set the standarad.
Great classic film
I think so too!
What's Up Doc was also great!
Absolutely!
This is excellent. This is a wonderful comedy, and Steve's comments are so on the point! Grant was gay, and Hepburn was a lesbian (The studio reasoned, probably correctly, that adultery was better than homosexuality at the time).
If they gave it that much thought.
PS: "What's Up, Doc?" would be a great candidate for a TOQ review!
It's on my " To Do" list.
You've done my favorite movie ("Westward the Women"). Might you, please, do my next-favorite, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"? They do the song, "Lonesome Polecat" in ONE TAKE!
It's on my " To Do" list! So glad you like "Westward The Women" as much as I do!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Oh, I do! Each time I watch it, I "am" an different woman on the trip. A have some favorites who aren't even highlighted. :D. (Boy, am I an odd nut, eh?)
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Forgive me, I hope, for coming back AGAIN: Stephen Vincent Benet wrote the short story, "Sobbin' Women," from which this movie was taken. BOY, does Hollywood change the role of Millie! :D. AS...THEY...DO. LOL!!
The screwballiest of screwball comedies.
It never stops and never ceases to entertain!
I love this movie.
I do too!
Great review of a great movie! But I'm confused: I knew that Cary lived w/ Randolph Scott for a bit, leading to gay rumors. But Hepburn as gay too? I'd be curious about her female lovers. Guess technically, both were bi (likely, to maintain their careers). As a fan of "Hollywood Babylon," spill the tea!
Look it up.
William Mann's bio "Kate" will fill you in to Ms. Hepburn's more complex private life.
Some Tracy/Hepburn films I guess you're right, but not all. Pat and Mike -- she had no trouble at all holding her own there, even though he was the coach, she saved his bacon. And he accepted it (after a bit). Also, I think they were very much equals in Desk Set, with maybe a slight edge to her side.
Yes, I agrre, but I simply prefer her with Cary.
Yay! I love this movie 😊
Hooray!
@STEVEHAYESTOQ My favourite scene is when Kate keeps interfering with his golf game "well, of course it's round, do you think it would roll if it were square?" 🤣
I do too!
@@benfisher1376 And she was such a great golfer in her own right.
@STEVEHAYESTOQ Yes, in Pat and Mike she really shows that off
It's Very beautiful that yellow rose
Ain't it?
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ yes your back
If you haven't already, you need to do Holiday, another great Kate and Cary gem.
I did! Go to my YoutUbe channel and you'll find it in my past episodes. I love " Holiday"!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Hooray!
Your Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant alone (let alone your Charlie Ruggles) are worth the price of admission, but then there is your delightful comment. If the soundtrack of this movie had ever been lost, it could be reconstructed very nicely using your vocal talents. I don't often laugh out loud while watching movies (though I do love comedy), but the ravine falling scene always works for me that way.
Thanks so much for the lovely compliments. I love this onje for the pace , the impeccable casting and the comic timing. It's so zany and yet so smart. Steve
Grant in His Girl Friday..peak Grant
Certainly one of 'em. Thanks for watcihing!
Love you!
Thanks so much!
Thank you.
If Katherine H and Bette D had a kid, it would be Steve. At least the voice.
And would inevitably resemble the father, Charles Laughton or Alfred Hitchcock...or, if I was a girl, Margaret Rutherford on a good day. LOL!
@STEVEHAYESTOQ I've been thinking. Smashing two songs has been done for years. My fav, Numb/Encore by Linkin Park/Jay Z.
I would love if Katherine and Bette performances were smashed for good results.
