ONCE UPON A HONEYMOON (Leo McCarey, RKO, 1942)

This film revolves around the pairing of two of the biggest stars of the studio era, Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers. And other than these two, this film really provides nothing memorable. The narrative is rather stiff and disjointed. The best technical quality is the score as it is very beautiful. Grant and Rogers though make this two hour film a breeze. Grant is his suave and debonair best and Rogers always looks great. Both of their personas shine, and both give nice performances even though they do not have much to work with.
