08/30/2008: "Cary Grant"

Here's another movie based on a play, as they so often were way back when. More drama than comedy, but quirky in its way, Cary Grant is a doctor with a mysterious past in "People Will Talk". There's an older gentleman who apparently lives with him and is nearby day and night. And he falls for a student who's -- gasp -- found herself in a family way without the benefit of a husband. Hume Cronyn is another doctor at the medical school who, apparently out of petty jealousy of Cary Grant's success and popularity, tries to dig up details about his current relationships and past activities.
