Directed by: Howard Hawks
 
Cast includes: Cary Grant and Ann Sheridan
 
Black-and-White, Romance, Screwball Comedy
 
Cary Grant is at his comic best opposite Ann Sheridan who is definitely able to stand up to Grant. Grant plays Henri Rochard, a member of the French Army whose escapades with WAC officer Catherine (Sheridan) forms an unlikely marriage. The story then follows Grant as he tries to follow his new wife to the U.S. as a male “war bride.” I Was a Male War Bride is a perfect example of director Howard Hawks’ fast-paced dialogue for which Grant was made. Sheridan is wonderful as the woman who can take the heat and give it right back. You’ll never know how ugly a woman Cary Grant makes until you’ve seen him in this movie. Hilarious and one of my favorite comedies!
