It's shocking that Grant wasn't even nominated for an Oscar. [1 March 2005, p.E01]
Add Hepburn’s persona, beautifully explored here in all its wonder, and Stewart’s likeability, and George Cukor’s sensible, subtle, and lovingly unrushed direction of a firecracker script…the result is a studio picture far deeper and richer than its whimsical surface style might lead you to believe.

George Cukor gives it the royal treatment with a splendid supporting cast.
With such a stellar cast, a fine director working in the type of picture he did best, and some genuinely witty dialogue, this film has all the ingredients for a great comedy. And it is great, though there have been many funnier comedies. The film has an unfortunate tendency to take itself too seriously for long stretches.

I've always loved this movie, but there's no WAY this movie gets made today given the current climate of relations between men and women. Grand and Stewart are masterful, and Hepburn is killer- this was her big comeback, and she does it with class.
