Hello Dr. What!

I just finished watching it in 3 late-night sessions over the  
course of a week.

It was a cute film. Grant at 59 at the time was obviously having  
fun in that role. Hepburn only 34 was still quite a beauty.

The plot has several weaknesses. [1] There is no explanation how  
the original $250K in gold "converts" itself into the [cbfgntr  
fgnzcf]. I'd be more interested in WHO still has the gold.  How  
can anyone truly anticipate that something like [cbfgntr fgnzcf]  
would even retain value much less increase to $250K over time.  
[2] The fake CIA director: security must be really slack at the  
American Embassy if an imposter can just walk in and occupy an  
office! [3] The kid. His voice didn't seem to fit. It sounded  
like it was just dubbed in by an adult trying to sound like a  
kid [4] The rooftop action fight scene. At one point Grant is  
just hanging by his fingers over the edge. Then a split second  
later you see the hooked-hand antagonist flipping backwards  
hitting a wall. There is no explanation how Grant got his  
footing back on the roof.

In all, the film looked like a charming exercise to pair Grant  
and Hepburn into a pseudo thriller trying to be a romantic- 
comedy at the same time [1] the shower scene, and [2] the funny  
face he makes as the true Embassy official.
