I Was a Male War Bride (1949 Howard Hawks)

Opens like Bringing Up Baby, with Cary Grant now clashing romantically with Ann Sheridan; becomes The Seven Year Itch. Very economically staged, as you would expect from Hawks, witty script (Charles Lederer, Leonard Spigelgass, Hagar Wilde, based on a true story by the real Henri Rochard), leads in great form.

Shot by Norbert Brodine and Osmond Borradaile.

Very funny, by the way.
