THURSDAY MOVIE CONNECTION. Every Thursday in 2012, I am connecting movies through actors.

March is all MUSICALS!

In honor of Alfred Hitchcock's death on April 29, 1980, April is dedicated to Hitch, and all my favorites.

I Was a Male War Bride, 1949





Director: Howard Hawks
Stars: Cary Grant, Ann Sheridan







French Captain Henri Rochard (Grant) and American Lieutenant Catherine Gates (Sheridan) go on military missions together in Germany, and eventually fall in love. But they soon find out that getting married and travelling together as a married couple is rather difficult. Captain Rochard has retired so Gates is the military member. And usually only "brides" travel with the army.

It's like a cute romantic comedy til they get married and then it's just silly because when they are travelling (not together) Rochard can't find anywhere to sleep. He isn't a woman so he can't sleep in the spouse's quarters and he can't sleep with the officers because he isn't one anymore. It's a little ridiculous. But it was definitely ok, and Cary Grant was very entertaining, as always!
