Oh no!!

I loved this movie. It was funny but serious at the same time, and all the actors were very fun to watch.

But am I the only one who wanted her to go with Ronald Colman/Professor Lightcap in the end?? Okay, I'll admit it, that's probably more ME totally crushing on Ronald Colman, and I guess that Nora Shelley and Leopold Dilg matched better than Nora and the Professor, but I was so disappointed! At the end I was shocked that she ran off with Leopold!

Actually, according to TCM (it was on last night), the directors showed two different endings to audiences to see which one they liked better. Apparently, people liked Nora and Leopold better. Haha, oh well. Would've liked to see the version with the Professor and Nora getting together :P

Believe me... you are NOT the only one! LOL! I think that Cary Grant/Leopold was such a sweetie... but come on... Ronald Colman!!!! Drool!!! He was so "elegant" and that voice... mercy! Yes, it was "best" if Nora and Leopold got "together," but me personally... I'd have fallen for Professor Lightcap!

I agree. I wanted her to pick Ronald Coleman.

I super loved this movie-actually any movie with Ronald Colman (He is so YUM)! I wanted her to end up with the Professor but they kept referring to him in an indirect way as "older" (which I think alluded to her choosing age appropriate partner). But it was a funny movie and who doesn't love TCM for showing it.

I ABSOLUTELY agree. I was really bothered that she went with Grant. I thought she was perfect with Colman. :( I know which one I would have chosen, beard or no beard! :D
