A real delight in a world of increasing sensation and trial

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2001)

I grew up watching the romantic comedys of the 1940s - now regarded as 'classics'; probably so but i see no reason to exclude this film from that list, it is clearly fantasy (find me anyone who would turn her down after her appeal in the final scene in the bookshop), the actors are fine, the script pacy and the ups and downs exactly what is required - the director has some clever tricks - the scene through the market as time passes is notable. Grant is more than adequate and Roberts a delight - the support cast is nicely judged and the wheelchair well handled - in all a real pleasure in a world of glitz, bangs and computer enhancement.
