Bristol’s legendary Cary Grant teams with screwball comedy’s most underrated actress, Irene Dunne, in the film that helped in break through as a romantic lead. Named as the ‘slapstick prince charming’ by critic Pauline Kael for his marriage of elegance and physical comedy, Grant stars in the definitive, Oscar® winning comedy of the 1930s. Leo McCarey, a veteran of slapstick comedy (Sherlock Jr., Duck Soup), directs this vaudeville team.
Introduced by stand-up comedian Lucy Porter.
In partnership with the Cary Grant Comes Home for the Weekend Festival.
