Go to the nine-minute mark and watch the last 57 seconds. Nobody does elegant slapstick like Cary Grant…nobody. His timing is just so, and he uses just enough economy with the broad stuff. A touch more or less and his bits wouldn’t be half as funny. Grant was as expert at this sort of thing as Charles Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton were at their specialties.
