Walk Don't Run

Walk Don't Run (1966) is a romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM — directed by Charles Walters and starring Cary Grant in his final screen performance before retiring from acting.

Tokyo, 1964: the Summer Olympics have wiped out every spare room in the city. British industrialist Sir William Rutland (Grant) talks his way into sharing a flat with a young American embassy secretary, Christine. When a military attaché moves in too, Rutland quietly appoints himself matchmaker to the obviously smitten pair, with memorable results.

Grant was 62 and fully in command of every scene — no effort showing, just the right gesture at the right moment. He never made another film. That quiet exit on a comedy filmed in Olympic Tokyo turned a pleasant genre piece into something you watch differently knowing the context. Stream Walk Don't Run online on iFILM.
