Curtis does turn in a strong romantic lead performance in this movie, probably one of his best, and does come very close to eclipsing Grant. However, for me the greater laughs were watching Grant's hand-to-nurse, umm, hand-to-hand tactics against the young woman Curtis sics on him early in the film. Somehow, as competent a nurse as she appears in the rest of the films, she becomes all thumbs around Grant.
Ah, yes, then there is the immortal line: "We just sank a truck!"
