Cary Grant

Cary Grant, Sophia Loren

Paramount, 2002

"I hired her for my children"...."Adopt me?!"
"With that fine Italian hand that can't cook, or sew, or even do the laundry - you've managed to put a family back together again..." I just recently purchased HOUSEBOAT (1958) and watched it for the first time and Cary Grant was never better than when he stars with ...

North By Northwest

Ed Binns, Leo G. Carroll

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), 2004

Can't Believe I'm Just Now Viewing This
I've avoided this movie for years. I don't really know why, but what a mistake! The storyline may seem tired by today's standards because we've all seen it before. However, the acting, the lines, and the photography are outstanding... especially the photography!! ...

The Philadelphia Story

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

Warner Home Video, 2000

The course of true love... ...gathers no moss.
Perhaps not my favorite classic, but The Philadelphia Story is a great adaptation of the play with some of the greatest actors of their day. Now I am only twenty so this was out far before my years, but it certainly kept my attention and will sit high in my list of ...

Father Goose

Cary Grant, Leslie Caron

Republic Pictures, 2001

Father Goose with Cary Grant
Father Goose is not only a showcase of cry Grant's considerable acting talents, but an excellent example of American culture and social attitudes during World War Two. Although set in the Pacific, this film (by turns dramatic, romantic and very, very funny) shows ...

To Catch a Thief (Special Collector's Edition)

John Alderson, Georgette Anys

Paramount, 2007

Really Great Alfred Hitchcock!
This is a light Hitchcock movie, probably not one of his greatest, but pretty close! The film does not focus on murder or mayhem or even tragedy. It is all about stealing jewels! If you thought that jewel thieves were interesting, this is your movie. If not, here ...

Arsenic and Old Lace

Cary Grant, Josephine Hull

Turner Home Ent, 2000

Arsenic and Old Lace
Cannot go wrong with Cary Grant in this crazy comedy. Love to watch it during Halloween. The old ladies are too much fun. Highly recommend.

Charade

Grégoire Aslan, Paul Bonifas

Madacy Records, 2001

A lesser known gem
Although I admit to being a huge Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn fan and so am a little biased, this has to be my favourite of their films. Grant, ever stylish and charming puts on a virtuoso performance in one of his later films (we was in his 60s here), as the ...

Alfred Hitchcock Premiere Collection (Lifeboat / Spellbound / Notorious / The Paradine Case / Sabotage / ...

Cary Grant, Claude Rains

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Collection of Hitchcock films largely unavailable
With hours of all-new special features including audio commentaries, featurettes, screen tests, still galleries, vintage radio interviews, an AFI Tribute to Hitchcock and more, the DVD collection also includes a 32-page notebook with trivia, and production notes. ...

Operation Petticoat

Cary Grant, Tony Curtis

Republic Pictures, 2001

Operation Petticoat
Cary Grant is cast as the commander of the Sea Tiger, a sub held together by a lick and a promise. Tony Curtis is cast as Lt Nick Holden. He was assigned sea duty as a punishment, and is very outside of his element. Since the country is at war, supplies are very ...

An Affair To Remember (50th Anniversary Edition)

Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr

20th Century Fox, 2008

A classic
A classic that cannot be remade...even though they tried. Great acting and great overall movie.

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

Don Messick, Frank Graham

Turner Home Ent, 2004

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House
Cary Grant and Myrna Loy are a good pair. Subtle humor of the era makes for easy watching and relaxation. Take time to notice the styles of living and fashion. Highly recommend.

His Girl Friday

Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell

Good Times Video, 2002

Fastest smartest dialogue there is. The screwballiest of the screwballs
Get a load of the title--pure irony. I mean, yeah, OK, Cary Grant DOES manage to get Rosalind Russell to revert back to her old newspaper ways, in spite of her initial adamant refusal to do so...but she really does it cause it's in her blood, not because good old Cary ...

The Cary Grant Signature Collection (Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House / Destination Tokyo / The Bachelor ...

Cary Grant, Alexis Smith

Warner Home Video, 2004

Entertaining
Thoroughly recommended. For lovers of old classics & Cary Grant these are a must to have in your library. I particularly enjoyed watching a much older Shirley Temple in The Batchelor & the Bobby Soxer.

Notorious

Fay Baker, Bea Benaderet

MGM (Video & DVD), 2008

Romantic Noir
Hitchcock framed this wartime noir film around a debonair Cary Grant and the youthful beauty of Ingrid Bergman. Luxuriant black and white cinematography was added to this elegant love story set in the world of secret agents, giving it a lusciously romantic glow not ...

Bringing Up Baby (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

Turner Home Entertainment, 2005

Adorable & Quick Witted
This is one of those movies I can watch over and over again. The chemistry between Grant and Hepburn creates a perfect foil for the snappy dialogue interspersed amongst somewhat silly but completely engaging situations. Movies from this era understand that every ...
