Description

Charming ladies' man Cary Grant becomes a charismatic matchmaker in his final screen appearance in WALK, DON'T RUN. When English industrialist Sir William Rutland (Grant) arrives in Tokyo on business, the influx of tourists for the upcoming Olympic games makes it impossible to find lodging. So Grant fast-talks his way into sharing an apartment with beautiful Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar) for a few days. To further confuse matters, Grant invites Steve Davis (Jim Hutton), a member of the U.S. Olympic team, to share his half of the apartment. Three's definitely a crowd as Grant plays Cupid between Eggar and Hutton - much to Eggar's stodgy's surprise. Will Grant manage to send his roomies to the altar? Only if he solves the many comical complications that come his way! Filmed entirely on location, WALK, DON'T RUN is a fitting coda to the dapper, debonair style and screen career of superstar Cary Grant.

    Love, love, love this movie. All the characters are so funny and endearing. This has been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it over 50 years ago. Could watch it again and again.

    Strange plot Rom Com where Grant plays matchmaker. He still is the lead and is able to hold the plot togehter, but everyone else is trying to keep up with him.
  • Worth having

    Picture transfer is decent (not excellent) sound is adequate. This is Cary Grant's last major motion picture and it is pleasant enough. The story seems a bit weak compared to Cary's other films but at least it's presented in the correct aspect ratio and the scenes of Japan are very nice. It has a bit of that "travel log" in it the was so big in the fifties and here it goes a long way to help what would otherwise be an unexceptional film.
  • Love Carry Grant in this ...funny and romantic :-)
