"And Grant is wonderful, Russell a joy, but Bellamy on this umpteenth viewing is a revelation. His slow delivery stands out against all the rapid-fire verbal assaults, and I do believe he steals almost every scene where Grant is ostensibly stealing the rug out from under him. You really do have to be smart and talented to play someone this dumb."
Nicely put, Noel Vera!
If I have to tell you what movie this is, well, you know what Louis Armstrong said about jazz. Still, there's a DVD I hadn't noticed before with (possibly crappy, but I'm obviously buying it) extras. Looky, image-quality comparisons and snazzy stills are here. I will never, never, never grow tired of watching this.

Em, you’re quite the gal. If I thought you were a bit of a geek for being so TNY obsessed, I didn’t realize you were MY kind of geek.I LOVE this movie. (I got all pissy about someone mentioning it might be a candidate for a remake.) The best dialogue ever. (PS- I’ve got nothing against geeks! love’em.)
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I revel in my screwball-comedy geekdom. Don’t get me started on my other most favorite thing in the world, The Queen’s Gambit. I may be into The New Yorker, but when it comes to Walter Tevis, I really can’t be shut up. Welcome to my three-track mind!
