Review - Once Upon a Honeymoon

I saw this on AMC and missed the first half hour. It wasn't hard to catch up, however. With Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers, it should have been a good movie, but it wasn't. Half the time it was serious war drama, the rest of the time it was slapstick farce, and it didn't work at either level.

Saw the entire movie on 5/27/23 on TCM, but seeing it all didn't make it any better.
