Watched a few old movies from Netflix's "Classic Movies" section this past week - a couple of Cary Grant flicks: People Will Talk (1951) and I Was A Male War Bride (1949) and a really good court room drama/mystery(/thriller?) called Hostile Witness (1968).

People Will Talk is where he is a doctor and professor and he meets a single pregnant woman, later falling in love with her. He is also dealing with a little man who is also a prof and who is trying to dig dirt up on him. It's a cute flick with some drama and some humor and Cary is, of course, charming as usual.

I Was a Male War Bride has an incorrect synopsis on Netflix because what Netflix says it is about really only happens in like, the last 10 minutes or so. lol

"Capt. Rochard is a French officer who marries an American female lieutenant, Catherine. All is blissful until Rochard tries to accompany his wife back to the States. Now, Rochard must impersonate a woman in order to join his new bride."

Really, it is a cute comedy where he is on his last mission for the French Army and she is a LT in the US Army and is accompanying him. They have been on missions before and presumably hate each other, but it's pretty clear they really argue because they like each other so much. Anyway, hijinks ensue on the mission, they fall in love, get married and then more hijinks ensue when they try to get back to the states. It's a cute little romantic comedy.

Hostile Witness kinda surprised me. I am not sure why I wasnt sure if I would like it - probably because the Netflix synopsis sounded a little confusing to me, the way it was worded. But never mind that - this was a really good movie that kept me guessing until the end - did he break and do it or was he framed? It was a little Perry Mason and a little Law & Order.

I recommend all 3 flicks - especially if you like the older movies.
