Did You Know?
In a scene in his office between himself and his nurse-employee, Cary Grant performs a dead-on impression of his co-star Betsy Drake - whom he would soon marry in real life.
Based on a short story by Eleanor Harris that was published in the October 1947 edition of the Ladies' Home Journal.
Quotes:
Dr. Madison Brown: How in the world did Eve ever get Adam when she had no other woman to help her with the subtle little touches?
Roger Sanford: I've been married three times. I like marriage. My wives didn't but I do.
Julie Howard: Anabelle! Do you mean you're going to deliberately set out to trap him?
Anabel Sims: Well, I know it's dreadful but this is the kind of thing men force us to do.
Anabel Sims: You don't happen to know any millionaires, do you?
Julie Howard: If I did I'd avoid 'em.
