Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

morrison-martha2 Two stars because of Cary Grant, otherwise zero stars. This film has nothing to recommend it and it is a bit sad to see god Cary reduced to acting in a routine and tired remake of an older, truly brilliant and genuinely funny film called 'The More the Merrier'. Where the latter is full of flair and wit, this remake is forced and bloated; where the latter is full of well thought-out and interesting eccentricities, this feels like a string of clichéd and unfunny jokes. Cary knows he's in a bad film and although he does a decent job, one can feel that neither his heart nor his mind is in it.My advice, don't bother with this (unless you're set on covering the entire Cary Grant filmography),but do try and get hold of the 'The More the Merrier'. I wish Cary had ended his career(one of the most glorious film careers ever) with a much better film.

KelcyCO I have always loved this movie. It was a typical light, romantic comedy that Cary Grant was renown for and it was a perfect vehicle for him to transition to the older man supporting role. It used all his talents for keeping it light, witty and intelligent without it being slapstick. I was sad to realize it was Grant's last movie as he could have had another ten or twenty years playing such roles. It was our loss. I also like others in the cast despite others criticisms. Eggar and Hutton had just the right amount of chemistry. Setting it during the Tokyo Olympics made it contemporary for the times. And unlike many other 60's movies this one does not date itself all that much.

wes-connors The 1964 Summer Olympics result in a tremendous housing shortage in Tokyo; so, suave British businessman Cary Grant (as William Rutland) can't get a hotel room. With no alternative, he decides to answer an apartment to share posting. Soon, silver-haired Mr. Grant is moving in with beautiful young Samantha Eggar (as Christine Easton). Grant is a little miffed when Ms. Eggar implies her boarder is too old for romance, but he's happily married. Moreover, Eggar is engaged.Next, Grant meets tall, dark, and handsome Jim Hutton (as Steve Davis), and decides he'd be better mate for Eggar than fiancé John Standing (as Julius Haversack). Grant has Mr. Hutton, an early-arriving Olympian waiting for his own accommodations to become available, make it "Three's a Crowd" in Eggar's apartment. Eventually, Grant decides to play matchmaker.The plot ("The More the Merrier") and situation are nothing new, but the cast makes it enjoyable. Grant is especially noteworthy in the scenes after he moves in to Eggar's apartment. His comic physical timing and delivery of lines is often impeccable. There was certainly no reason for Grant to retire, since he appears to have lost little due to age; and, his presence alone made the film a hit. "Walk, Don't Run" is way too long; but, spending two hours in an air-conditioned theater with Cary Grant must have been a cool way to spend time in the summer of 1966.****** Walk, Don't Run (6/29/66) Charles Walters ~ Cary Grant, Samantha Eggar, Jim Hutton, John Standing

DKosty123 Cary Grant's last film is in many ways a typical Grant performance. He does light romantic comedy in this 1 more time. The supporting cast is OK with the late Jim Hutton being the most talented.The film itself is amusing but kind of rough around it's edges. I am not sure why, but the pace of this film doesn't feel entirely right. Maybe it has to do with Grants advancing age or maybe the Director was trying something new which just doesn't work all the time.Whatever it is, the chemistry between the actors & actresses suffer & it shows in the film. Granted, this is not supposed to be art though this role for Grant is pretty much typical of his other films. There are a few decent laughs in this one & if you like Cary Grant, enough here to watch.Don't mistake it with his classic work like in the film North By NorthWest. Call this one way far east.
