Description:
Screen legend Cary Grant stars as Dr. Noah Praetorius, a lovable professor and head of a medical clinic who becomes the subject of a McCarthy-style investigation initiated by a jealous colleague (Hume Cronyn). Along the way, Praetorius befriends and ultimately marries a young woman who attempts suicide when she discovers she is pregnant. Baut as the witch-hunt into the good doctor's personal life progresses, so do the laughs in this well-crafted, all-star treasure that should be part of every film lover's collection of classics.
Amazon.com:
After winning consecutive best director Oscars (for A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve), Joseph Mankiewicz turned his attention to this extremely curious social comedy. Cary Grant plays a famous, idealistic gynecologist whose mysterious past is questioned by a vindictive colleague (Hume Cronyn). Meanwhile, the doctor falls for a pregnant patient (Jeanne Crain), whose unmarried status is daring for a movie of 1951 vintage. The title is an all-too-apt description of Mankiewicz's chatty style, but it also carries sinister echoes of the McCarthy era--specifically, an attempted right-wing purge of the Director's Guild, I which Mankiewicz was the main target. This subtext lends interest beyond the movie's rather tame romance. The Grant character, named Doctor Praetorius (no relation to the Bride of Frankenstein wacko, one hopes), conducts a college orchestra and is prone to 'twilight sadness'--it's an offbeat role for the actor, and one he clearly relishes. --Robert Horton

This movie is a good one. Funny, interesting, and ahead of the time its time when it was made. I recommend it if anyone is a Cary Grant fan.

Each character in this lovely classic film reminds me of someone I know and love- (or choose to avoid- as the case may be!) I miss watching the oldies on AMC- or maybe it's just that the oldies are now 20 years newer than the ones I love! Ordering my favorites from Amazon.com and other outlets has helped to meet my needs for the insight and innocence found in movies of the 30s and 40s. People Will Talk is one we pull out and enjoy again and again.

The movie is pure sentimentalism, but it has it's fun moments and some good lines. I'm sure it made a strong statement in the era during which it was produced. A different kind of film for Cary Grant, but if you like him, it's worth watching.

I think this is one of Cary Grant's BEST movies and Jean Crain is absolutely wonderful! This movie is delightful and will make you wish not only that you knew a doctor like Dr Pretorious, but that you knew people like him in general,and you are very blessed if you do! This movie changed some of my ways of thinking for the better.

People will Talk is an amazing movie in a serio/comical, light entertainment style.
Cary Grant is at his best and the rest of the cast is great as well.
Too many great scenes to list. But I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes the light humor style. There is not much of it these days.
The funny thing is I have heard things like, that movie is old, or I don't like Cary Grant or Cary who?
Good comedy or good stories are timeless. It is foolish to assume anything that ... Read More
