Hilarious, But...
I find this movie hysterical, in a good way. Especially at the beginning, where I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. But sadly, not everyone will appreciate the slapstick humor that makes this movie so priceless. Even the non-slapstick moments, where great lines and fabulous delivery on the part of Grant make the moment, may be lost upon viewers. Plus, black and white films are so often a turn off. Still, if one is willing to give this movie a chance and can let yourself fall into the time and the setting, I can't imagine how you wouldn't find something to laugh at.
Mortimer Brewster: Look, Aunt Martha, men don't just get into window seats and die!
Abby Brewster: We know, dear. He died first.
Body's in the window seat! Honestly, priceless.
