This is a great little comedy deserving of all the praise it has here from other posters.
Cary Grant shakes off his usual polished self as the grizzled hard-drinking loner, Walter Ekland, staying out of the war and harms way. Enter Leslie Caron and her charges, and Ekland finds the war isn't so easy to stay out of if you have something to lose.
The script is pleasant and well-observed and the humour is gentle. It's probably a little too long at almost two hours but the characters are so well-etched and performed that the humour is sustained to the end.
Well worth seeing.
