good remake
7 January 2017
I love old movies. Loved the original and was pleasantly surprised by this one. Did not know I was watching a remake until a bit into the movie. The clothes were fabulous and the script was funny. I liked the songs and thought Wyman was better than Irene Dunn in her part. The 2 Rays were OK, but they were no match for Carey Grant and Ralph Belamy in the original. Good actors have a range and Wyman showed hers here. She was delightful as the sister. I think some reviewers were a little hard on this remake. It may not be as good as the original, but it was still great. No need for Ray Milland to be ashamed. Nice way for him make nice bucks. Every movie doesn't have to be a Lost Weekend or a Johnny Belinda. Folks would stop going to the movies if everything was intense. Watching this one was a great way to spend a lazy afternoon.
