I hope you can watch "People will talk" soon, it's very good and very underrated :) Thanks for visiting, girl!Clarahttp://www.via-51.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-51020159462784001402011-06-09T13:57:02.113-04:002011-06-09T13:57:02.113-04:00Yeah, you should totally consider a second viewing...Yeah, you should totally consider a second viewing, trying to watch it not as a comedy, but as a serious film with comic relief scenes. I felt sorry for Mr. Shunderson, and when you know his story is easier to sympathize with him.

Over Imdb they explained that Cary didn't count this movie as part of his filmography and the reason the give is that it wasn't a commercial success...And I agree with everything you said, an unusual & extraordinary film!

It definitely gets better and better every time you see it. OMG, yes, the scene in which she realizes she's pregnant is sooo good! In fact she realizes twice (after the wedding, Cary reveals to her that she was definitely pregnant all the time) and I love both scenes, what emotional roller coasters! Very ahead of its time.

There was just a really weird 'vibe' to the whole thing. It was part comedy, part drama, part mystery...but none of it worked (at least for me). I also found somethings--like Mr. Shunderson--to be really creepy. Perhaps a second viewing will improve my opinion of it. I do think that it is cool that, like you noted, it addressed some interesting and relevant topics.JustAudreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-14598504920946601772011-06-08T19:40:48.455-04:002011-06-08T19:40:48.455-04:00Clara, this is one of my favorite Cary Grant movie...Clara, this is one of my favorite Cary Grant movies. It's a hardly veiled comment on McCarthyism of the 50s and doesn't pull any punches (in a very calm way). It's heart and mind is in the right place and - just saying - I wouldn't mind Cary as my GYN.Marshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-34681908583982629082011-06-08T19:33:51.736-04:002011-06-08T19:33:51.736-04:00Clara, it's hard to believe how little-known t...Clara, it's hard to believe how little-known this movie is. I think the writer created something extraordinary, and the actors brought it to life with perfection. It's definitely a different part for Grant, and he was extraordinary. I wonder why on earth he didn't acknowledge it? Do you know what he said about it?<br /><br />Finlay Currie as Mr. Shunderson is unforgettable. I found this movie fun, moving, unusual for its time -- I talk it up as often as possible as one that should be seen. I'm really glad to find someone else who feels the same way!Rebecca Barnesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4424334629461989551.post-89281639972239437382011-06-08T18:32:53.862-04:002011-06-08T18:32:53.862-04:00I love this movie!

The long scene where she realizes she's pregnant is beautifully written and acted and covers so much emotional territory! And I love the model trains. :) It's definitely a "different" film, but in many ways an overlooked gem that was perhaps ahead of its time.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />LauraLauranoreply@blogger.com
