What is really important?
Some reviewers have criticized the studio-bound look (Bringing Up Baby wasn’t???), flat, high- key photography, the fact Rock Hudson isn’t Cary Grant, that much of the comedy is slapstick (which, I guess, means physical and visual), that gags are recycled from older films……I mean, who cares? This is a total delight, probably the best comic roles Prentiss and Hudson ever had, and one of the funniest post World War 2 movies of all. Today, the 6th or 7th time I’ve seen it, I found when it was over I wanted to go out and buy a DVD of it.Hawks’ films may not have the pictorial qualities that Ford’s, Welles’, and Hitchcock’s had, but when it came to involving you in a group of characters and their silly, yet somehow believable, antics, he had no superiors. It’s not surprising it took the French New Wave, with their impatience for tired and predictable dramatic conventions, to finally recognize and rank Hawks at the very highest level of film artists.
