2026 movie #8. 1957. A PR office on a small Pacific island during WW2. Decent enough service comedy. I like Glenn Ford. This movie, however, had too much Fred Clark and not enough Anne Francis (in her cute Navy nurse officer's uniform.
A film starring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and Frank Sinatra (MGM, 1956).
A rich woman's ex-husband crashes her wedding.
C+ (Okay).
This story wasn't good when it was Philadelphia Story, and this version of it is sloppily written. It's a good cast, though. They make an effort to have fun. And the music isn't bad.

Grant's last film, by no means his best, but a funny and fitting final chapter to his career as he plays the matchmaker and pokes fun at his age and sex appeal. Look for him singing the theme from "An Affair to Remember" and whistling the theme from "Charade."
A family of five plan to swim the English Channel.
1/4 (Bad).
Besides being dumb and occasionally upsetting, it's really, really boring. Redeeming moments are in there, but they're rare.
