Haha so anyways, thank you for writing this, it made my night and makes me want to show both of these movies to all my friends again and have a Walter Mitty double feature😂.

It's satire, so it took me a while to get into it, but Cary Grant's expressions are priceless and it is so fun. I totally get that it's not for everyone, though. I wasn't really a fan of the plot for His Girl Friday, but I liked his acting. Other favorites are The Philadelphia Story (but I'm mostly there for Jimmy Stewart... ;)), Charade, and Father Goose. You know, I think those are all the movies I've seen of his in full! He never disappoints. Have you seen any since you left this comment?

Totally! <br />On another note....what's your favorite Cary Grant film?? Or two? Grace and I are the only ones in the house right now that like his movies. :) We really liked Bringing up Baby, and I like His Girl Friday, and we started Arsenic and Old Lace which was absolutely terrifying:)...Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500318746573846635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-59201526934761359982021-07-20T16:03:58.880-06:002021-07-20T16:03:58.880-06:00Growing up with Danny Kaye movies was big in my ho...Growing up with Danny Kaye movies was big in my house, too, so I'm surprised we missed this one! It is very enjoyable. My sisters sometimes get annoyed when I get wrapped up in really technical aspects of movies, but I could talk about the cinematography of the 2013 movie for hours!

Though I do fall in the category of loving remakes, I love them even more when it isn't just a "carbon copy" of the original, YET, it keeps the same theme. The inspiration in each makes me want to just run out the door into an adventure! That's so neat that you and your sister were in Iceland, even for such a short time! When you get her to see it it will be an even stronger connection! I need to get both of my sisters to watch the DK version, and get my older sister to see the 2013 version, then they can love it, too! Aww, thank you so much, Carissa! It's so good to hear from you again!Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-7975608679388071982021-07-20T15:49:49.034-06:002021-07-20T15:49:49.034-06:00Hamlette, I think you'd really dig the newer v...Hamlette, I think you'd really dig the newer version! It makes life so fresh and exciting and ready to explore. I actually first heard about the Danny Kaye version through you, so thanks for that! I should read more James Thurber.

I remember some things I could have done without, but still I remember enjoying it! I didn't care for the newer version, but the cinematography was really, really cool.

It's not even like the 2013 version is a remake, it's just a different story altogether with some of the same themes. Both are fun and inspiring and I really need to get my sister to watch the 2013 version with me. She's seen the 1947 version with DK and enjoys it, but I think she would really love the 2013 version. We were in Iceland on a layover once and didn't see much of anything but fog and icy rain. It would be fun for her to see more of the actual country.
