Review of Walk Don't Run (1966) by Tom M — 14 Nov 2010
I absolutely loved the first hour or so of this, when it didn't try to do anything but give Grant a stage for charming hilarity. I couldn't have enjoyed this portion more, and laughed tremendously hard on a number of occasions. It doesn't matter that nothing happened of any importance at all, that there's really nothing of depth to care about - the comedic performances and some good dialogue are more than enough to turn it into something purely enjoyable.
The latter stages are still good and there are still some laughs to be had, but the focus undergoes a bit of a realignment and centers itself around a bit of plot that isn't as wholesomely charming as the earlier bits. Ultimately this didn't diminish my good time enough to keep it from being something I'd want to see again though. Most comedies loose their steam toward the end so its hard to be too let down that this did the same. Perfectly fit the bill for a night that needed something light and fun, and a pleasant way for Grant to have ended his career.
