Movie Info

This comedy of errors stars suave Cary Grant as a French Army officer who takes outlandish measures to make it into the U.S. with his new American bride. Unfortunately, the only legal way for Grant to be allowed into the U.S. is for him to be designated a "war bride."

    Not the best, but not the worst by any means!

    This is one of my favourite Cary Grant movies, Ann Sheridan movies, and movies of the year 1949. It is so hilarious and perfect for a military romance movie. A must see for Grant fans.

    One of the more contrived Grant films, Cary is perfect as the broad shouldered, debonair, confused as ever bride to his officer wife. A dose of the unfamiliar makes it ever the more believable.

    funny film directed by the more than able howard hawks, starring cary grant and ann sheridan who both put in strong performances with their quick-witted remarks. nothing special but it has sheer entertainment value. ideal for staving off boredom. seeing cary grant dress up in drag was fucking hilarious
