AMAZING!This is just great. watched it recently for the first time. While hilarious, it is very atypical. There are no slapstick moments, no knock-knock jokes, and defidently no punchlines. It, however, is priceless. Seriously. I'm not even a big connisuer of old movies. But, hey, this is great. The facial expressions, the gestures, the realism... all the characters are lifelike, and I did not have to suspend my belief for even a second. It was also very intense, but comically, like "A Fish Called Wanda". I was either grinning ear-to-ear, on the edge of my seat, or laughing my a-- off. There were no special effects, no stunt doubles... and yet, this seems grand and epic. The trailer doesn't do it justice. Just buy it; on here or at the store, it doesn't matter. Just buy. Don't rent. Buy..Score: 5/5
Get ready to die laughing!This is one of the best movies of all time! Not only is Cary Grant in it but it is really funny with a slight twist of creepy and a pinch of romance. The fist time I saw it I thought was a little scary! But now that I am older I LOVE it! So if you have kids wait till they are at least in middle school. But I REALLY recomend this movie! It rocks! Well worth your money!.Score: 5/5

AMAZING!I love this movie! It’s been one my favorites ever since I saw it about a year ago! This movie is great for kids as well, but Boris Karloff aka The Brother might be too scary for very young kids. Other than that, a great movie right along with private eyes!.Score: 5/5
A great old classic!I grew up watching this movie, and to this day it's one of my favorites. Cary Grant and this hysterics, are completely hysterical to watch! "I'm not a Brewster, I'm the son of Sea Cook!" Also, Aunt Abby and Aunt Martha are such a funny duo of murderers. Their antics will have you rolling on the floor. Also Peter Lorre is funny to watch as Dr. Einstein..Score: 5/5

A Cary Grant ClassicAgain Cary Grant proves to be a great comedic actor. Only Capra could have brought so much to so little. It is well paced and the actors are great. I love intellectual comedy and this is one of the best..Score: 5/5
