About the movie:
Featuring one of Cary Grant's most memorable and over-the-top performances as Mortimer Brewster, a confirmed
bachelor who finally succumbs to wedded bliss, only to have his honeymoon postponed by the discovery
of a dead body in the house of his dear old maiden aunts. Whodunnit? Crazy Uncle Teddy who thinks he's
Teddy Roosevelt? Psychotic brother Jonathan who's on the run from the police? Or, could it really be
those darling aunts?
Personal:
Still one of the funniest films ever made. Even after multiple viewings, Cary Grant's mugging still
sends the WriterGroupie off into paroxysms of giggles.
