Walk Don't Run [DVD]

This was Cary Grant's last film and is a fitting role for him, charming, good-humoured with a nice dose of physical comedy thrown in. He does what all the screen greats do: leaves you thinking that he was the only man who could possibly have played this role. Although, in this case, he probably was.Walk Don't Run is one of those films that seemed to be churned out in the 1960s, a nice tight plot, a fine group of characters and some good laughs along the way all brought together with a good cast.Grant plays businessman Sir William Rutland who turns up earlier than planned in Tokyo which is hosting the Olympic Games and, of course, there isn't a hotel room to be had. He ends up charming his way into the flat of a single girl until he can get into his hotel room. That however, isn't the signal for the usual plot, as Grant ends up playing cupid in a brilliantly unsentimental manner for the girl and an Olympic athlete he picks up along the way.There are some very funny moments, not least when Grant ends up in an Olympic event, and all this is done with the debonair style that he displayed in Charade and as far back as Monkey Business.Mention Cary Grant and this film would probably never enter most people's minds (probably because they will never have heard if it) and that's a real shame. Walk Don't Run is a fitting testament to a fine British actor who charmed the world. I would be amazed if anyone could find anything to dislike about this little gem of a film.

Saw it as a student around 1966 at London Cinema, saw the dvd on offer, though overvalued, could not resist buying for keeps. Watched it again last night. Quite enjoyable.

A classic film with a great cast.It was Cary Grant's last film and he went out in style in this gentle comedy.Yes it has characters which are sterotypical of the time. The bumbling Russian spy, the uptight English Embassy official.But enjoy it in the spirit it was made and it's a nice gentle comedy filmed during the Toyko Olympics.

Cary Grant Jim Hutton and Samantha Eggar work the magic in a comedy which was Cary Gran'ts last film before retiring. Watch it in the Cinema and enjoyed it again on DVD . Good quality picture from Columbia Pictures/ Sony in 1.35 widescreeen colour.

Very funny film with the great Cary Grant, set in Tokyo during the 1964 Olympics. Brilliant acting from all 3 leads.

Slow burning - clever - mildly funny.

Terrible film. Just a silly romp only notable as cary grant's last film
