The tale involves Ingrid Bergman as an actress who falls for Cary Grant's character, even though he's married.
The story line is enjoyable enough (needless to say, good old Cary turns out to single) but the main focus for me is the out and out high life of it all, not a kitchen sink in sight.
The costumes the ladies get to wear, utterly fabulous. The excellent grooming of the men. They wear suits! Three piece ones, usually, now when does THAT ever happen these days? In the evenings, of course, its dinner jackets and black ties.
The sets - Ingid Bergman's character's apartment, with its fully serviced and staffed building is of an irreplaceable, largely bygone, era.
Cary Grant is my all time favourite movie actor. Sure, not the best actor ever, IMO, however, in terms of style and charisma, for me, he cannot be surpassed. Suave, well dressed, charming, always, (his on-screen and public persona was, at least).
Very, very,vintage. Very, very glamourous. (Very, very envious...........)
