Description:
During the housing shortage of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, two men and a woman share a single apartment and the older man plays Cupid to the other two. Stars Academy Award winner Cary Grant in his last film role.
Amazon.com:
This extraordinarily sweet--but thankfully not sappy--film proves once and for all that Cary Grant was devastating, period. Young, mature, or in his golden years. The reason Ian Fleming modeled James Bond after Grant is startlingly clear. Grant was 62 when this film, set during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, was made. Grant plays Sir William Rutland, who is caught in the crowded rush--without a place to stay. He finds himself subletting an apartment along with Christine Easton (Samantha Eggar), who's in town to be near her fiancé, a British diplomat. Also sharing their tight quarters is Olympic competitor Steve Davis (Jim Hutton), who's evasive about his sport. Soon Sir William, a distinguished businessman, finds himself playing Cupid to his young housemates.
The movie is a comedy of clever words, of misunderstandings, and, surprisingly, of physical humor. Grant, stripping down to boxers and a T-shirt, takes to the Tokyo streets, participating in 'the event' to the incredulity of those around him and to the amusement of the audience. It's a priceless and very funny scene--and the film is full of such joys. Grant lived another 20 years, but this was his final film and a fine cheerio it is indeed. --N.F. Mendoza

An audacious woman decides to share her apartment with a businessman - Cary Grant - and an athlete - Jim Hutton - during the Tokyo Olympiads.
Interesting dramatic and funny twists make of this film a nice film of this decade. The last film of Grant.

This movie is very funny, and I love love love Cary Grant, but you should also check out the original called The More the Merrier. It seems to be lesser known, but it's even better than this one, and it stars one of Grant's previous costars Jean Arthur (from Only Angels Have Wings and The Talk of the Town), the handsome Joel McCrea, and Charles Coburn. Coburn is great as the "silly old man" type, and Jean Arthur's explosive crying is hilarious. It's black and white, which I know turns some people ... Read More

This is Cary Grant's last movie. He is ever the gentleman. His sense of humor really shines in the scenes with Jim Hutton. A must for any Cary Grant fan!

Hilarity and frolic, real life and cultural merriment at its funniest! Have a Pre-Olympics Watch Party with this one!

Walk Don't Run is a light-hearted Cary Grant favorite. I saw this movie only about a year ago and really enjoyed it. Cary Grant is not the lady's man in this, though he does seem to be quite happily married. Handsome Jim Hutton and lovely Samantha Eggar are the romantic pair in this movie, guided by Cary Grant's gentle nudges. This is a fun, romantic movie. : )
