Great humor! Great mystery and compassion, Great innocence and craziness, All go into making this a wonderful vehicle for the talents of Cary Grant! If you love comedy, this movie is a must see!

Murder, suspense, drama, crazies and espionage wrapped around a love story. Only in Brooklyn can you have such fun in a movie. Watch it with hot chocolate and warm fuzzy slippers to not miss a moment of this comedy.

Hilariously funny! Movie with Cary Grant as lead. Cary played lead,before- in "Arsenic & Old Lace" for a long run on Broadway. One must have a sense of humor, & a touch for ridiculous humor helps. Cary plays a man who finds himself in quite strange situations, at home, when he is trying to get married & go on his honeymoon to Niagara Falls. Somehow he manages all the chaos & unusual occurrences in his own house. Not for everyone, maybe; but, for me it's one of my favorite Cary Grant films.
