SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Another George Stevens comedy balancing a crowded living arrangement, sparkling romantic friction, and humane social observation; it shares the nimble warmth and grown-up charm of The Talk of the Town.
02
Why this pick
Its screwball premise creates the same buoyant blend of deception, romantic complications, and moral good humor, with sophisticated dialogue that keeps an improbable situation emotionally light on its feet.
03
Why this pick
For the witty collision of private romantic trouble and public institutions, this is a sharper, more farcical companion, propelled by rapid dialogue and an affectionate view of decent people in chaos.
04
Why this pick
George Stevens brings the same polished, generous touch to a romance where strong personalities and competing ideals create lively verbal sparring without losing emotional warmth.
05
Why this pick
Cary Grant again anchors a sophisticated comedy in which a respectable public figure becomes entangled with a household full of complications, blending legal pressures, romance, and gentle absurdity.

01 / THE STORY
Mill worker and political activist Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant) is accused of burning down a mill and causing the death of a foreman in the fire. In the middle of his trial, Dilg escapes from jail and seeks shelter in a house owned by former schoolmate Nora Shelley (Jean Arthur), now a schoolteacher on whom he has had a crush for years. Shelley has the house rented for the summer to distinguished law professor Michael Lightcap (Ronald Colman), who plans to write a book. Both Lightcap and Dilg arrive within minutes of each other.
