An affair to remember......that bump on Cary Grant's forehead is driving me crazy....

great movie, and love him to death, but I can't see anything else but that bump.

During filming cinematographer Milton Krasner pointed out to Grant that a lump on his forehead was making it hard to film his close-ups. The lump was the result of a childhood accident, but Grant had been habitually rubbing it for years, leading it to swell. Doctors told him it would take four to six weeks for him to recover from its removal. Instead, he took a few days off, had his wife, Betsy Drake, hypnotize him, and had the procedure performed in the doctor's office under a local anesthetic. He recovered within days with no scarring.
