Here's a modern take on rapid-fire screwball dialog from Saturday Night Live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEtSEXizCxc Also, for an entire movie of this, watch the Coen Brothers' "The Hudsucker Proxy."

I liked it. Thanks for the reaction. I like it better than Arsenic and Old Lace. I could tell you enjoyed the movie (as you confirmed in the outro). You had the smiles (and face lighting up) going with Cary Grant, and you liked Rosalind Russell (Susan Sarandon does seem to resemble in ways). The arc with Walter and Hildy was interesting from taking cuts at each other early in the movie to being a team toward the end to what seemed like ambiguity at the very end. I haven't seen many Cary Grant movies. I think North by Northwest (a different kind of movie) remains my favorite. But this movie is dynamic. Hard not to like Cary Grant. 1940 is the year that Germany essentially took control of (most of) continental Europe. Thanks for youtube link -- much better quality than what is streaming on Amazon Prime.
