Description

When a charming fugitive, a beautiful teacher, and a stuffy lawyer are forced to become roommates, their unconventional relationship is suddenly "The Talk of the Town" in this madcap romantic comedy. When accused arsonist Leopold Dilg (Cary Grant) escapes jail, he hides out in the home of friend Nora(Jean Arthur). Posing as a gardener, Dilg teams up with Nora to convince her summer tenant, Supreme Court candidate Michael Lightcap (Ronald Colman, Lost Horizon) that Dilg was framed. The zaniness never stops as the three of them dodge the cops, try to snag the real crooks and discover along the way that both men have fallen for Nora. But who has captured Nora's heart? Find out with "The Talk of the Town," a sparkling gem from Hollywood's Golden Age of Comedy, nominated for seven Academy Awards(r) including Best Picture.

    A very brilliant yet entertaining account of prejudice towards those that think differently and stand up for their rights and dirty politics.

    I love this movie! i love Jean Arthur and Carey Grant. Both great actors. I love the way this movie avoids the "suave bachelor meets innocent naive country girl"stereotype that ran rampant back then. If you like Carey Grant, this is a charming must see!
