I Was a Male War Bride (1949, U.S.)

I adore Cary Grant, and this film is a Cary Grant film. That's pretty much enough said right there. It was absolutely hilarious and quite risque for the '40s. There was all kind of sexual innuendo and cross dressing and overall bending of traditional gender roles.

It was also interesting because it was like two movies rolled into one. Part one was how these two people who got on each other's nerves fell in love. (Think It Happened One Night for the military.) Part two was how the man dealt with being a role traditionally reserved for women.

Slapstick comedy and witty puns galore. I laughed out loud over and over again. If you need a laugh or a Cary Grant fix, this is definitely a great choice.

Rating: 3.5
