Oh my stars, how I love drunk James Stewart bantering with Carey Grant. This will always be my favorite moment in the film, followed closely by Macaulay (James Stewart) carrying drunk Tracy (Katherine Hepburn) around later that night.
“I’m going crazy. I’m standing here solidly on my own two hands and going crazy.”
My all time fave movie. ❤️
