5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Cary Grant, June 30, 2002

What can one say? This is classic Cary Grant as his funny, witty, clever, debonair best. He plays a gambler who's putting together a bankroll but has to swap identities with a deceased sea captain to avoid the draft. During his time as "Joe Bascopolous", he lands a nice little scheme in running the gambling concession for the War Relief ball -- an organization headed up by a smart, classy and beautiful woman who - naturally - falls head over heels for Grant. But, is he really in love or is he going to take her money and run?

Great movie, great cast, and great story.

4.0 out of 5 stars A reformed gambler sees the light, April 13, 2005

This review is from: Mr Lucky [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It's hard to believe this one isn't on DVD yet! Cary Grant plays a gambler who convinces a wartime relief organization to run a gambling function for one night to raise money for supplies to send overseas. Only his real motive is to keep all the profits for himself and skip town. But he falls in love with the organization's leader (Lorraine Day) and reforms. There is one horrendous scene in a church where Grant comes to see the light, but otherwise the picture is pretty good. Day is more a looker than an actress, but Grant is good in the lead. It's very well directed, with some interesting use of "silent conversation" behind glass doors that open so we can catch the main points as they're said. There are some surprises, too, at the end, but they seem only tacked on to get the right (Hollywood) ending. But not a bad movie overall. Worth a watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Grant, witty and charming, January 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr Lucky [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Cary Grant is at his most charming and the use of Australian slang is intriguing. I liked this movie because it is the typical "bad guy" (sort of) meets girl story with charm. The plot keeps you wondering whether the rich girl and the boss gambler will ever get together. With the added double-crossing partner and the soul searching Grants character must do, it is a terrific movie. A real "Briny-Marlin".
