Cary Grant appeared in three movies in 1944, the year he turned 40. One remains a negligible title: the whimsical comedy "Once Upon a Time," derived from a radio play.

Warner Bros. had borrowed three of the original cast members for about 10 weeks and had agreed not to open the finished film until the Broadway engagement - augmented by several touring companies - concluded.
