Review of I Was a Male War Bride (1949) by Patrick B — 30 Dec 2011
Very funny, well written screwball comedy. Howard Hawks directs Grant and Sheridan in a piece that skirts sex so carefully that its at the forefront of everyone's mind the whole time. The hilarious unlikely romantic chemistry between Grant and Sheridan is splendid from the very beginning.
Their spiteful courtship is as charming and the best of all screwball romances. It culminates in a clever farce satirizing the red tape in political systems and loop holes that aren't as conveniant as they seem.
