His Girl Friday wins.

Next,

Father Goose vs. Once Upon a Honeymoon

 

[SteveGon]

...and I must abstain again.

 

[Jay E]

Haven't seen OUAH in a long time, I have to abstain.

 

[george kaplan]

I'll break the tie for Father Goose.

Next,

Houseboat vs. The Talk of the Town

 

[SteveGon]

The Talk of the Town

 

[Jay E]

Talk of The Town

 

[DanaA]

The Talk of the Town

I'm kind of surprised by this voting. The Talk of the Town is a great film, but I thought there'd be a lot of abstaining. Glad to see that this film isn't as obscure as I thought it was.

Talk of the Town wins.

Our final first round match-up:

That Touch of Mink vs. Indiscreet

 

[SteveGon]

Indiscreet - I guess.

 

[george kaplan]

Indiscreet wins.

OK, this brings us to round 2, and I think most of the films that only I have seen are gone, so there should be a lot less abstaining. I've randomly seeded the match-ups for this second round, and there's even one bracket where Brook can vote. So, without further ado, let's start with that one.

The Philadelphia Story vs. His Girl Friday

 

[Jay E]

His Girl Friday

 

[SteveGon]

His Girl Friday

 

[Lew Crippen]

His Girl Friday

 

[george kaplan]

The replies to this matchup only verify what I've long felt.

His Girl Friday is far from being the worst film Cary Grant ever made, but it is easily the most overrated (IMO)

I can't believe that a film as great as The Philadelphia Story isn't getting at least one vote here. :frowning:

 

[Jeff Gross]

The Philadelphia Story

 

[Brook K]

You gave me a toughie George.

As a movie, I would give the edge to The Philadelphia Story, but since this is a Cary Grant tournament my vote goes to His Girl Friday and Grant's whirlwind performance.

C'y'all in Round 3.

 

[george kaplan]

Just to clarify, this is a tournament of Cary Grant films, not Cary Grant performances. I have no idea if that would change anyone's votes, but just want to make sure that there's no confusion.

 

[Bill J]

His Girl Friday

 

[Dome Vongvises]

The Philadelphia Story

Both are good.

 

[John C. Wilson]

The Philadelphia Story
