This movie is clearly a filmed version of a play (it was written by Philip Barry, the author of "The Philadelphia Story", and like that play, the movie version stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant). Like all of the other (film versions of) Barry's plays that I've seen, this is a slightly dated and mannered, but it has clever dialogue and some very funny moments. The story is that Grant is a poor but "everything else you could want in a son-in-law" young man, and is brought to meet the family of his fiancee (the sister is played by Hepburn). Grant does an excellent job humanizing a character that could easily be just a plot device, and Horton and Dixon are hoot as an academic couple that are friends of Grant.
