This extraordinarily sweet--but thankfully not sappy--film proves once and for all that Cary Grant was devastating, period. Young, mature, or in his golden years. The reason Ian Fleming modeled James Bond after Grant is startlingly clear. Grant was 62 when this film, set during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, was made. Grant plays Sir William Rutland, who is caught in the crowded rush--without a place to stay. He finds himself subletting an apartment along with Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar), who's in town to be near her fiance, a British diplomat. Also sharing their tight quarters is Olympic competitor Steve Davis (Jim Hutton), who's evasive about his sport. Soon Sir William, a distinguished businessman, finds himself playing Cupid to his young housemates. The movie is a comedy of clever words, of misunderstandings, and, surprisingly, of physical humor. Grant, stripping down to boxers and a T-shirt, takes to the Tokyo streets, participating in "the event" to the incredulity of those around him and to the amusement of the audience. It's a priceless and very funny scene--and the film is full of such joys. Grant lived another 20 years, but this was his final film and a fine cheerio it is indeed. --N.F. Mendoza

 Walk Don't Run December 1, 2008
It's great, I love it, quietly funny with Cary singing & humming all the themes from his previous movies in the background. Play on his being too old to even be considered risque living (briefly) with Samantha Eggar. And Tim Hutton wonderfully casual, funny, firing quips back as fast as Cary can bat them at him. All this and a brief glance (or hearing) of George Takei in a small part (but you would never miss that voice even if you missed seeing him lol.) The single thing wrong with it is that it was Cary's last.
 Enjoyable fluff ! October 10, 2008
An audacious woman decides to share her apartment with a businessman - Cary Grant - and an athlete - Jim Hutton - during the Tokyo Olympiads.
Interesting dramatic and funny twists make of this film a nice film of this decade. The last film of Grant.
check out the original July 4, 2008
This movie is very funny, and I love love love Cary Grant, but you should also check out the original called The More the Merrier. It seems to be lesser known, but it's even better than this one, and it stars one of Grant's previous costars Jean Arthur (from Only Angels Have Wings and The Talk of the Town), the handsome Joel McCrea, and Charles Coburn. Coburn is great as the "silly old man" type, and Jean Arthur's explosive crying is hilarious. It's black and white, which I know turns some people off, but I promise, if you liked Walked Don't Run you'll enjoy The More the Merrier. The More the Merrier

This is Cary Grant's last movie. He is ever the gentleman. His sense of humor really shines in the scenes with Jim Hutton. A must for any Cary Grant fan!
Olympic fun and laughter May 19, 2008
Hilarity and frolic, real life and cultural merriment at its funniest! Have a Pre-Olympics Watch Party with this one!
