Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

What a waste of my time!!!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

With a loss of about seven minutes including a montage sequence of the hero pursuing various odd jobs, this is a cleverly cutdown American release version of Britain's The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss starring Hollywood's Cary Grant and Mary Brian. The pace is fast and has plenty of action plus a big helping of romance. What the American version does not have is a great deal of comedy, but excellent acting all around from both Grant and Brian plus a host of support players more than makes up for that deficiency. Combining both good location and top- notch studio work, Alfred Zeisler's direction is never less than highly competent and is occasionally extremely brilliant. Available on many DVDs, including the 50 Movie Mega-Pack of Comedy Classics.

The Amazing Adventure is a movie that is best enjoyed by baby boomers and those who are fans of Cary Grant. I found the whole movie theme rather trite and boring. The acting in the movie was OK. I was glad that the movie was short and to the point. Once the movie is over, it is easily and quickly forgotten. By the time I saw the movie, the quality of the film was grainy and lacked sharpness for a black and white film. This movie is definitely a rainy day movie or a late night movie. Cary Grant is the movie. Without him, the movie would have been a total bore. Grant's lively personality is strong enough to carry the film. That is why the lead stars get the big bucks because they are the movie. Popcorn all around here, maybe a glass of wine or some hot tea.

Initially intriguing, but ultimately unsatisfying, British comedy-drama that is best remembered for giving Cary Grant fans a chance to watch the actor work in his home country. The film works as well as any other "class comedy" of the era as it allows its hero to survive without relying on his wealth, and therefore finding his true self in the process. Unfortunately, director Alfred Zeisler and screenwriter John L. Bladerston compromise their own reliable premise in the third quarter, which undermines the film's enjoyable first two-thirds by a considerable degree. Grant is in fine form throughout this acceptable film.The version I viewed of this picture was titled THE AMAZING ADVENTURE, and had runtime of 61 minutes. There is reportedly a version of the movie that clocks in a 80 minutes, although I have know information of the differences between the two cuts, nor which version was originally released in theaters.

This has a worthwhile story idea, plus Cary Grant in one of his earlier starring roles, and it has some good scenes. There are a number of other, better movies made in the 1930s that were based on similar ideas, but this one is a solid feature. The main thing that keeps it from being better is that the story and script do not always make the best use of their opportunities. As a result, there are some sequences that take up screen time that could have been used for something better, while some potentially fine moments are under-emphasized.Grant plays a wealthy young man who has become jaded and spoiled by the company of other well-to-do idlers, and who sets out on a challenge to learn how to work for a living. This setup lends itself to a lot of good material, and the best moments are Grant's interactions with other everyday persons who don't know who he is.Within a very short time after this was filmed, Grant became one of the best actors around at handling this kind of material, and he was then able to make this kind of story work even when it wasn't particularly well-written. Here, there are a number of times when his developing flair shows through, but he wasn't quite experienced enough yet to carry the whole load, so there are some sequences that lack the spark that they needed in order to keep moving. It makes the movie somewhat uneven, still worth seeing if you like the era and genre, but otherwise unremarkable.
