Carey Grant and Sophia Loren. I don't do well remembering movie names. I'm lucky that I remembered the actor's names. 🙃

I love so many of the movies being mentioned. Thanks to all of you--now I have to hunt these up and watch them again.
One of my favorites: The Man Who Came To Dinner (Bette Davis, Monte Woolley, Ann Sheridan, Billie Burke, Jimmy Durante, Mary Wickes) Have to watch it every Christmas!
