Cary Grant

In this atypical Cary Grant movie, "The Talk Of The Town", he's a political activist arrested for arson and murder who escapes from jail and hides out at the house of an old sweetheart, who happens to be renting it to a law professor! I guess it's not entirely atypical, what with the romance and comedy aspects, but it starts out from a pretty dark place. I also enjoyed the realization that Cary Grant was 38 when this came out -- and he was the youngest of the 3 leads. The love interest, Jean Arthur, was 42, although her character was obviously much younger. His rival (and opposite in so many ways), Ronald Colman, was 51; but his character was the "older man" in this little triangle -- at 40.
