Not to mention the electrifying Albert Finney-caretaking sequences.

To each his own, but she certainly makes her argument more coherently than you do.

Uh, yes.

Uh, yes.

He could have at least fallen down an elevator shaft.

He does love rape jokes.

I think he said Thomas had told him to use that line — but hadn't told him what the "soap" reference actually meant.

I've had word of a new automotive venture that looks quite promising — it's called the Edsel.

Not to mention Let Me In, I Took Your Name, Circus Envy, and You… you… YOU-U-U-U-U.

I have to admit I laughed a lot, partly because it was such an unusual premise, partly because Killam was so intense in conveying his character's barely-hidden desperation and insecurity. Absurd as it was, I feel like I've met that character before.

Yes, although if you think about it, Grant's character in Holiday is just as unconventional as Hepburn's.

Yeah, I do think Monster is a sleeper classic, but by R.E.M.'s lofty standards it's still only in the middle of the pack.

Pilgrimage is my favorite song off Murmur. I don't understand why it doesn't get more love.

"Your last-ditch lay, will I never learn?"

Mike has demonstrated pretty clearly why you're wrong. Go back and look at the origins of the MPDG term — there's a reason it was coined in response to the likes of Elizabethtown and Garden State, not Bringing Up Baby or Godfrey.

I agree. Ball of Fire drags a bit in places, although it's still not to be missed. I tend to think of it as a Billy Wilder film, although he only wrote it and didn't direct. It really has his stamp all over it, but he hadn't quite nailed the formula down yet. Whereas The Lady Eve is Preston Sturges at his absolute…

Yeah, I just saw that one recently when she was the star of the month on TCM. It's such a ridiculous story, but her intensity takes it to a whole other level — which I think is true of a lot of her pre-Code stuff. (You can tell it's pre-Code because she's not punished at the end for sleeping around.)

"Godfrey" was his best vehicle though, at least among those that I've seen. The bit where he finally throws the "protege" to the curb is classic.

Of course we all know that Grant's actual favorite "wife" in that movie was Randolph Scott. As far as Grant-Dunne pairings, The Awful Truth is the much better film anyway.

Gail Patrick really gets screwed over by Cary Grant in My Favorite Wife. (Hint: She's not the favorite.)
