This old farcical film was too over-the-top for my taste. I understand it's a comedy with melodramatic moments, since it's adapted from a stage play, but the overacting, especially on Cary Grant's part, nauseated me. Many times he looked more like one of the Three Stooges than a leading man. The loony lacy aunts, murderous as they were, seemed to trot everywhere like Edith in All in the Family.
While the allusion to Frankenstein's Monster, in the characters of Johnny and Dr. Einstein, was smart and cute, I'm wondering if any of you enjoyed watching this film. To me, it's American Cinema at its cheesiest.
