I took one look at Betsy Drake and said to myself HE married HER? UGH!! And the thing only got worse after that.Betsy Drake plays a manipulative, obsessed, single woman who looks up and notices Cary Grant and immediately starts stalking him objective matrimony. She enlists her friend, her boss (a notorious womanizer) and Eddie Albert.Drake's "acting" and I use the term loosely - is atrocious. Cary Grant is his usual suave self - until the end of this garbage. And yes, you can imagine the ending without me telling you.Friends and neighbors - don't even bother. Unless you like torture. And fingernails on blackboards.

DISCLAIMER to modern girls - DO NOT try this at home!OK folks - this is a product of it's time. The concept now is kind of corny and definitely outdated. But viewed in light of the era, I'm sure this type of conniving to get a husband was pretty common. Today, it would qualify as "Stalking" with a capital S! I still say it is worth a watch as it is classic 40's fare. Unfortunately, Cary Grant doesn't get quite as much screen time as Betsy Drake. I did find Drake to be a little annoying but that may have been the effect they were going for. It does make it seem more unlikely that she should land the "catch" in the end, though. I didn't feel Grant and Drake had much on screen chemistry, which is odd since I think it was during or shortly after this picture that the two "hooked up" and became Mr. and Mrs. Grant - perhaps life imitating art! Maybe Miss Drake learned a thing or two for her character after all!

I've seen this a few times and always wondered who that wonderful girl was... So That's Betsy Drake! What a doll: I wonder if her real-life "aquisition" of Archibald Leech (Aka Cary Grant) followed the same lines as Annabel Sims from this film? Nevertheless, I found her Highly Refreshing, that is the best word for her in this film, she is like a long cool drink of water on a hot day.Although the circumstances in this film are highly unlikely (And unbelievable) they are also highly humorous... And Drake's interaction with Grant is almost the same level of high-comedy as Hepburn and Grant in "Bringing Up Baby" This is a fast-paced true wit-based comedy, not the Lucille Ball/Laverne and Shirley brand of "Scratching your Fingernails against a Blackboard" type, which depends of a series of unfortunate incidents (Just like Laurel and Hardy- Only they did it much better) - This is comedy that shows cleverness. As a matter of fact, it is that cleverness that awards Drake her prize at the end of the film.This film includes great performances by Alan Mowbray and a very young looking Diana Lynne, and Franchot Tone as the "threat" to Cary Grant- Which we know is not even a treat.When you think about it, this film is a 1940's retelling of Cinderella- Without the soot.

Light comical farce with Betsy Drake desperate to wed and finds Cary Grant, a pediatrician, her perfect mate.The picture has become faded with the passage of time since Women's Lib would never go for this today in 2008, 60 years after this film was made.Grant shows what a wonderful actor he was by moving freely from drama to comedy.Franchot Tone appears as a possible love interest and rival to Grant.This is definitely Drake's film as she really gets into a woman desperate for marriage. Diana Lynn appears as her comic foil and is only moderately successful here.The film tends to falter as it goes on and suddenly at the end, long time beau played Eddie Albert suddenly appears only to find that the Drake character has come a long way. Problem is that the film does not.
