I know a lot of these movies get called masterpieces for bizarre reasons but this one actually deserves it!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2019)

Say it's a sweltering Sunday afternoon and no one feels like doing much.
Put this on. Whether you're 13 or 90 there is such a joyful appeal in this fabulous little feature.
A picture that truly deserves the title of "adventure", Carey Grant plays a loveable everyman who is reluctantly embroiled in a fantastic journey dodging plane fire and getting a little tail along the way.
Funny, never heavy or serious and with an amazingly well worked out plot I can't even recall, this is a movie to watch again and again. If you think that movies about a certain don't charm you (I must admit I do really struggle with them despite my efforts to like them) this one hits the nail on the head.
The best movie from its director, but the real credit goes to Ernest Lehman who also wrote the adapted screenplay for West Side Story.
