Almost In Your Arms

I watched Houseboat a few days ago. I like watching old movies, especially ones with Cary Grant. I find him incredibly charming and surprisingly funny. With this movie, though, he didn't have much to work with. The premise of the movie is a bit ridiculous: the character played by Cary Grant, Tom Winters, and his kids decide to move into a guesthouse next to Winters' deceased wife's sister. The guesthouse gets moved around by a truck, and the truck stops right smack in the middle of some train tracks because the truck driver is mesmerized by Sophia Loren's beauty. A train wrecks the guesthouse, and so the Winters family moves into a houseboat. Every character in the movie has a weird tan. The movie is cute enough, but I look forward to some better Cary Grant movies.
