I Was a Male War Bride description This laugh-a-minute farce takes place in Occupied Germany, in the years following World War II. French officer Henri Rochard (Cary Grant) gets assigned to pair up with Lt. Catherine Gates (Ann Sheridan) to track down black marketers; they're already well acquainted and can't stand each other's presence. Eventually their antagonism turns to love, however, and they marry. Problem number two: navigating through U.S. Army red tape, which necessitates that Rochard be classified as a war bride and cross-dress to gain entry into the States. Grant makes an even less convincing woman than he does a Frenchman. The alternate title of this movie was You Can't Sleep Here, a phrase Grant hears over and over as he sleeps in all manner of horribly awkward and uncomfortable circumstances. Sheridan is utterly charming, and the many gags are a reminder of Grant's gifts for physical comedy. The film harks back to the screwball comedies of the '30s, only with a somewhat more leisurely pace. Sample lines, with Grant being handed a soggy infant: "Oh, how cute! What is it?" "It's a human fire extinguisher. Want to hold it?" "What's its name?" "Niagara!" --Jerry Renshaw |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | The best!! |
| This movie was mostly filmed on location in Europe, which was unheard of at the time. It shows in the film quality. But the performances are just outstanding. If you have seen "It Happened One Night", the feeling is very similar. A picture that the people involved didn't think was great, produced great funny offhand and very memorable performances from the stars. Grant is his usual funny, clever, self demeaning persona, Anne Sheridan is just hilarious as the very straight man (Woman!). She is the movie!! This is just a keeper. Bears viewing many times. I find it just comical that some reviewers find Sheridans rold bitchy and not Grants. They take equal swings throughout the movie and keep you watching. Becouse, (Well you guess!!!) They love each other. Leave your baggage at home and enjoy.
