Customer Reviews

Government forms are the same everywhere.

The time, just after WWII. The place Occupied Germany. After two people who clearly dislike each other have been forced to work together, French Capt. Henri Rochard (Cary Grant) and U.S. Lt. Catherine Gates (Ann Sheridan) decide the only thing they can do is get married. All this would be fine except for one thing. The U.S. government forms for bringing a spouse back to the U.S. assume the spouse is female (hence, bride). After several attempts to correct this oversight, it is apparent that there is only one way to get on board the ship. A horse is missing a tail, and a lanky spouse is having problems with high heels. Will this work, or is it just the beginning? There are many great one-liners. Also, misinterpretations and some slapstick moments. Through all of this, you get the Grant expressions. The film itself was made in 1949 in several locations in Württemberg, Germany. Actors King Donovan, Charles B. Fitzsimons, Robert Stevenson, and Otto Waldis all shot scenes for this film, but all of them were deleted. RATS. I can not find the deleted scenes anywhere.
