Amazing Adventure is a movie which is about a filthy rich guy who places a bet with his doctor that he can be a poor schlep and live on a set income and cannot make more than x dollars a month. If this sounds familiar, this premise was of course used by Preston Sturges in his amazing (and much better) film Sullivan's Travels.
In this film, we have Cary Grant, in a very early role, playing the spoiled rich guy. He's, well, not BAD here, though he still needed some polish to become the debonair leading man that he turned out to be, you can still see some of the sparkle starting to shine through.
The story itself is a bit wobbly, and the conclusion is a bit too pat, as I said earlier, Sullivan's Travels covered the same ground a lot better in a couple of years time after this was made.
