Plots(1)
Frazzled drama critic Mortimer Bewster (Cary Grant) has two aunts (Josephine Hull and Jean Adair) who ply lonely geezers with poisoned libations, one sociopathic brother (Raymond Massey) who looks like Boris Karloff, one bonkers brother (John Alexander) who thinks he's Teddy Rooselvelt, one impatient new bride (Priscilla Lane) - and only one night to make it turn out all right. In this circus' centre ring is Grant, twisting his face into a clown's gallery of flabbergasted reactions and transforming his natural athletic grace into a rubber-legged comic ballet. You'll die laughing. (Warner Bros. Home Entertainment)
