Breathless screwball comedy - maybe the best one made? Grant and Hepburn are indescribable, but watch too for a brilliantly unshowy performance from Wesley Ruggles as the Major.
Hawks says in this scene -
- the censors were laughing so much they missed the line of Grant's "I feel a perfect ass". Well I'm sorry to say they did notice, as that line isn't in the film. Which just shows to go you shouldn't believe a word film directors tell you (except John Madden, who seems entirely trustworthy).
