Quotes:

Aggie Hunter: Don't worry for me. I'm here if you need me. I can't help my own nature. If I love you it's something I can't help, and something that I need. People are what they are and love what they love, and I don't see any sense in trying to be something else. I wouldn't trade it for a box at the opera, the thing I feel for you. And you can't change it or take it away from me. And there you are mister jack in the box. more

Witty and enjoyable, 20 February 2003
Author: djohnson-14 from Minneapolis, Minnesota

Cary Grant is at his best in this movie. Witty yet dry humor helps to bring out the after-taste of Grant's persona. Grant plays Ernie Mott a fly-by-night rover who has a big heart. Give this movie a whirl and watch Grant rise above mediocrity.
