You're so right - brilliant film. Interesting to hear about Cary Grant's ad lib, although, sadly - despite juxtaposition of negligée - probably slang, don't you think? "Going gay" was a catchphrase (seems to have started in the twenties); e. g. used in first talkie made in London - hero tra-la-la-ing as he shaves about "wanting to go gay".

Absolutely. Yes. It needs to be seen in the context of the day.
