You know that I am a sucker for Cary Grant, so I am going to go into this movie with the pre-conception that it will be a good movie. Boy, was I wrong. Grant and Katharine Hepburn were amazing in the respective rolls; in fact Hepburn was so spot on with her lines it was a joy to watch.
Cary Grant is an paleontologist who is trying to get a 1 million dollar grant from a local donor. During a golf outing with this donor he runs into Hepburn who instantly falls in love with him and begins to do everything to keep his attention on her. Unfortunately she does not know that he is planning on getting married the next afternoon. Along the way a cheetah arrives on the scene and turns everything upside down. To make a long story short, this movie was beneath these two actors. It was a comedy that for me was way too long.
I have seen this movie on many greatest movie lists, but frankly, I am not sure why. Only two stars for me on this one.

I had to take a break on Cary Grant's movies about a month ago after watching about 5 in a row. I never got to this one and it sounds like I didn't miss much.
