Cary Grant's Boxers


Link

I remember this film as a kid. I had an instant liking of the Jim Hutton character. It hasn't held up all that well but it's humble and the writing's smart. Using the Tokyo 1964 Summer Olympics as a back drop, it turned out to be Cary Grant's last picture. If Ryan Seacrest bugs the shit out of you..."Walk, Don't Run" is testament to a time when talent came before celebrity.

    I think I'm going to like this movie. Like a lot of trad movies, I'll have to drag it in through interlibrary loan. (Hard for some, easy for me.) Enjoy the Opening Ceremonies, Tintin.

    Julia-
    Can't beat interlibrary loan with a stick. Can't beat this movie either.

    I first saw "Walk Don't Run" on AFN in Bremerhaven back around '91. I saw a lot of stuff on AFN that I never would have been exposed too (like PF109 and Showtime at the Apollo).

    I never new the name of it for all these years until I stumbled across it on "Watch it Now" on Netflix last year (it's not on Watch it Now anymore though).

    I love those tieback boxers. Brooks still offers them but I've never been brave enough to try a pair.
