Good film HB. The only film Hitch remade. He was criticised at the time but felt very strongly that the original lacked something. I think he was right. Stewart-Day as a folksy, friendly American couple were great. By the way, the remake was 22 years later so this would be a 1956 release.
After Ingrid Bergman and then Grace Kelly as his icy blondes, Hitch was left without a muse and cast several actresses in a sucession of films - Day, Eva Marie Saint, Janet Leigh and Kim Novak before settling on Tippi Hedren (for whom he developed an unhealthy obsession). He met Doris Day at a party and she told him how much she admired and he responded by suggesting they work together. Obviously she was ecstatic when an actual offer came. She was good at portraying virginal characters. Groucho Marx famously said about Hollywood "I've been here so long, I can remember Doris Day before she was a virgin"... His Girl Friday (1940) Superb screwball comedy directed by Howard Hawks and starring the unflappable Cary Grant and Rosalind Russel (first choice Ginger Rogers foolishly refused the role). This film has been made and re-made several times and is based on the hit Broadway play The Front Page. If I recall correctly, there was also an indian version. Howard Hawks increased the speed of the reel and thats why the dialogue comes out bullet-fast and it really works.... ![]() Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |
