Director: Joseph Mankiewicz
Stars: Cary Grant, Jeanne Crain, Finlay Currie
Okay, it's not that the film was bad; it just didn't make any sense.
There was the main story- Dr Praetorius (Grant) falls in love with his pregnant, but single (oooh, scandal!), patient Debra (Crain). The beginning of the story is a bit dark; or just not happy. Then he rescues her by marrying her.
But that story didn't seem to be enough so there was a side one that the doctor's friend Shunderson (Currie), who sort of acts as an unofficial manservant, is being investigated by the police. At the end, when you find out why, it's a strange surprise.
These stories don't really collide at all. It was like they wanted to tell one story, but it didn't take up enough time so they added another to make things interesting. Not bad, but not great. There is one cute, romantic scene in a barn though, where they finally kiss.
There's just something about barns in literature and in the movies..... Why is everybody always kissing in a barn?
