The courtroom scene. He commits to it so much. He's heartbreaking.

He was great. Was nominated for a A A for this movie and should have won!

It was a powerful moving moment. I'm so use to seeing Cary Grant in films as a cheerful individual. This moment showed the depths of his dramatic talents.

I think Cary was nominated for the Academy Award specifically for the scene where he tries to convince the judge to let them keep the baby. It was beautifully and movingly delivered. I cry everytime I see it.

So true. I enjoyed seeing his acting depth. He should have won an Oscar.

He should have won. Now I have to google who won that year. Lol

He was very good, there. That's the first time I've seen the emotional side of his acting.
