Rating: - A movie with great cast but set in a wrong time
This movie is a romantic comedy about a radio reporter named Patrick O'Toole (Cary Grant), and a socialite named Katie O'Hara, aka Katherine Butt-Smith. The movie is set during the World War II amidst Nazi invasion of Europe, and concentration camps, which makes the theme of the movie a little insensitive and offensive. On the positive note, the movie has an excellent cast; Cary Grant and Ginger Rogers (in my judgment they make an excellent couple), and it is directed by Academy award winning director Leo McCarey, known for classics such as; An Affair to Remember; Love Affair; The Awful Truth; ...

Rating: - charming
this is a charming little movie with very good acting. Ginger Rogers is gorgeous, and good ol' Cary Grant is swell. Mostly recommended to old movie buffs, but some of my non old movie-lover friends found it quite enjoyable.

Don't be fooled by the Original Studio version. It is not as good as the one most people remember seeing.
Rating: - Tension at odds with itself...
This is an unfortunate little film. I say this not because it attempts to use the Blitzkreig as a platform for romantic comedy, but because it takes itself too seriously and always at the wrong time. The end result is an uncomfortable mixture of tensions all at odds with each other. What started out as a potentially interesting and fun film with a touch of danger somehow degenerated into a mixed mush of comedy, wartime intrigue, and suspense.
The cast is stellar. Grant is in top form as newspaper reporter and radio commentator O'Toole. Ginger Rogers is equally good, and consistant throughout ... Read More
Rating: - One of the strangest, most troubling films made in Hollywood
'Once Upon A Honeymoon' would almost be as reviled as DW Griffith's 'Birth Of A Nation' if it hadn't been swept under the carpet by an embarrassed posterity. Dubbed an unintentional 'Springtime for Hitler', the film follows reporter Cary Grant's attempt to persuade social-climbing showgirl Ginger Rogers that her aristocratic husband Walter Slezak is Hitler's right-hand man, paving the way for the Fuhrer's invasions. The complaint is not just that 1942 wasn't the best time for a comedy about the Nazis, but that the subject matter - Hitler's march through Europe and the systematic destruction of democratic ...
