Way to go

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2020)

When is a spy a spy? And is the audience going to be able to tell if he is or isn't before it is revealed? And when will it be revealed? All those things make room for suspense, edge of your seat stuff. Cary Grant plays it as suave as one can play it - and the dry humor is just spot on (call the police anyone?). So the backdrops are obvious as with most of his movies, but that shouldn't bother you at all. We are talking about other things that will and should interest you way more than that little "flaw".
The movie may feel a tad bit too long for some, but there is always something going on. And the way he edited some scenes is holding up quite nicely - something that not all movies that have action or stunt scenes can attest from that time period. And then there is that plane scene ... it is a bit of plot hole how we get there (or rather a character inconsistency, maybe even aplliable to at least 2 characters considering what they themselves are saying or doing) ... but normally you will not mind or care. This is light and fun and very identifiable
