This Will Leave You Wondering
This movie was one of the best Cary Grant movies I've seen. The setting starts out when Cary Grant is giving a lecture in college as a doctor. Another of the doctors at the college is investigating him because of his shady background, unbeknownest to Cary. He meets a college student when she faints over a cadaver ( body ). She later makes an appointment to see him about her fainting spells and later finds out she is pregnant. He makes a follow-up appointment for her to see him again for further care, then she leaves his office. A few minutes later, a shot rings out, and he finds her lying in the hallway. After surgery for a surface wound, she admits that she has fallen in love with him. He then tells her that she isn't pregnant when he visits her in post-op care. She quietly slips out of the hospital in the middle of the night and goes to her fathers house. Cary goes after her and ends up marrying her, and later tells her that she is really pregnant. In the meantime, the other doctor is getting closer and closer to finding out about Cary, only he is coming to all the wrong conclusions, especially the one about Cary Grants friend- commiting murder.Towards the end of the movie, everything comes out, including the twist at the end. This is one that you will love forever, and watch over and over again. A truly funny and touching movie with romance also. Excellent movie!!!!
Dr. Praetorius, your wanted.
Simply one of a handful of films that impact society decades later, in the hands of a master storyteller, Joseph Mankiewicz. A cast of casts: Cary Grant, Jean Crain, Walter Slezak, Hume Cronyn and Sidney Blackmer for starts. Dr.Praetorius (Grant) teaches at the local medical school,attended by his always-present mute (Finlay Currie). A rival doctor connives to get to the bottom of this shameless display. Before long this competent doctor intevenes with one of his students (Crain) in a very gallant,compassionate way before his past catches up to him. Grant's unconcern and Cronyn's connivery builds in suspense. Only at the symphonic finish do things tie together. What contemporary film has room for the doting proud single-dad of Jean Crain's, played by the refined, debonair Sidney Blackmer, a never-do-well professionally, who's only lasting pride is his daughter? Watch the scene around the family farm radio when Dr. Praetorius (Grant) is allowed to comment on those who must humbly watch from the sidelines of life because their talent was undervalued, while others can idle with plentiful farm subsidies. The film is caught in the 50's paranoia of communist conspiracies, the smear of innuendo and a Puritanical society, yet proceeds with great suspense to the end, where it is neatly resolved and justice is served.This should be a film talked about and studied for its character strengths (including eccentricities) moving storyline about the human conditiion, and inspiring belief in the decency of man. The economy and depth of expression all at once is astounding in this wonderful film.
