Fortune cookie scene


In which I am not so much paying attention to what the fortune cookies say, but that Cary Grant is wearing a sweater. And looking ordinary. And it's very, very odd.

But he still seemed sophisticated anyway--I think that's the best thing about Cary Grant, in all the roles I've seen him in, no matter how different they may be, he always seems very suave.

You wouldn't exactly see the guy in a suit at the beach now would you?

Talk about looking different than his usual dapper self, check out Father Goose. He's totally rocking the scruff.

*You guys wanna go see a dead body?*

I did like the woman in the background in a bathing suit hopping the rail in high heels!

Actually, in those days I would. That was the time when people (especially men) dressed a lot more fashionably and formally than they do today. Most of the men wore suits on a daily basis even if they had a blue collar job or were unemployed. They went to sporting events in suits, lounged around their own homes in a suit, and traveled in suits. They never seemed to go out in anything casual.

I bet the term ‘birthday suit’ originated in the days when there was a suit for everything. Anyway, I’ve seen several movies in which the men wore suits at the beach. I can understand what the OP was saying. When I first saw Roger’s outfit in that scene, I couldn't figure out why he was wearing, what looked like, sweats. That would have been highly unusual not only for the time but for the man. I soon realized they were at the beach but I thought they both still looked very out of place.
