Is there anyone who doesn’t love Cary Grant? Who doesn’t envy his suave manner, his impeccable sartorial style, his easy wit, his perfect timing and the effortless grace under pressure displayed evading a sinister crop duster on a lonely highway or a frisky leopard on a wild goose chase? Who doesn’t respond to his playful banter, the unerring chivalry in his every action and the romantic twinkle in the merry depth of his eyes? He remains the perfect movie star and was one of the finest actors from Hollywood’s Golden Age with a talent that flourished in screwball comedies and ripping adventure yarns, sophisticated thrillers and the most tender of romances.
It seems incredible that Cary Grant never won an Oscar and yet he probably appeared in more true classics than any other male star of his generation. We were spoilt for choice in compiling this retrospective and have selected films that reflect the breadth of his career and the full range of his talent. Cary Grant retired at the top of his profession in 1966, refusing all offers to return and insisting that fans should remember him the way he was. Time has done nothing to dent his charisma or diminish the power of his greatest performances as you will discover in this unmissable big screen revivals.
