CARY GRANT

[feaito]

AMAZING Alison!! Today I watched portions in my 40" HD LCD and the difference is BIG! I want a LED TV now Today I also saw two bonuses from the Blu Ray Edition: Cary Grant, A Class Apart & a Documentary on Hitchcok. Both very informative and entertaining.

I've seen A Class Apart and he certainly was. I like Cary's Hitchcock films, I think Notorious is my favorite, I think I'd have liked Suspicion more if he actually was a thorough baddie.

What I like about Suspicion is the constant "doubt" about Cary's character...being portrayed by debonair Cary Grant, one is not sure of anything until the end. "Notorious" is a masterpiece, but "North by Northwest" is knockout in all respects.

My favorite sentimental comedy of CARY GRANT.
1938 Comedy ... that we all know about.

BRINGING UP BABY

Here are my two favorite photos of that movie ... Cary Grant in that silly nightgown!
This movie always tickle my funny bone!

Turner Classic Movies will be re-playing it again on Sunday, May 15th (2011) at 6:15 Eastern Standard Time.

My favorite Cary Grant movie is without a doubt Mr. Lucky. It's got everything - comedy, drama, romance, a moral boosting theme, and Cary is just great as a darker character, a mystery man who takes another man's name in order to get out of the army and pull a heist on some society fundraisers. Of course, unexpected love changes him. I believe this was his favorite role as well. The chemistry between Grant and Laraine Day is just great.

Here it is on Lux Radio Theatre:

I liked the TV show too, but no Cary in that.

I discovered Mr. Lucky last year and I found it totally irresistible; an absolute gem! The knitting scene is a riot!

[JackFavell]

Oh I get all verklempt over this movie! I love Cary, only he can pull off a scene like that. When he rips the needles away from Mrs. Van whatever, it always cracks me up... like Cary's saying "Please, I can do it myself!"

It's so romantic at the end. And I love the fact that each of them changes by coming in contact with the other.

I haven't seen Mr Lucky or Penny Serenade and I do have them. Maybe I need a fix of Cary pretty soon.

I love those pictures of Cary in a negligee, I can't think of any other man who could don a negligee and still be attractive, I think of all my other favorites, Charles Boyer, Montgomery Clift, Fredric March, Charles Farrell, Gene Kelly, Marlon Brando and I'm sure they wouldn't do anything for me in a frilly pink negligee, but Cary Grant, he still has it.

[JackFavell]

I agree about the negiligee!

I also think it says something about how secure Cary was in himself that he could take up knitting needles or wear a negligee, or dress in female military clothing and not care one whit what people "thought".

[charliechaplinfan]

Yes and it's refreshing, I especially love him in comedies.

Ali...go rush!!! And watch two of Cary's greatest films!!! IMO, "Penny Serenade" contains one of his most touching, dramatic performances.

[JackFavell]

Don't talk about it, Ferchu! I'm going to start sniffling!

I'll say the same thing, go rush and watch them - I love both movies so much.

[charliechaplinfan]

I promise you both I'll watch them, just wait until after the weekend, Chris isn't a big fan of Cary Grant.

Okay, this pre-code scene from The Woman Accused (1933) starts off slowly as fairly boring, but becomes sort of jaw-dropping, thanks to some unexpected reactions from one of the actors. Come to think of it, I haven't seen Cary Grant in this light before either. The movie starred Nancy Carroll as a girl trying to go straight with Cary Grant (who wouldn't?) . The story was based on a 1933 serial in Liberty magazine in which 10 well known authors (Gertrude Atherton, Polan Banks, Vicki Baum, Irvin S. Cobb, Vina Delmarr, Zane Grey, Sophie Kerr, J.P. McEvoy, Ursula Parrott and Bayard Veiller) wrote a chapter for Liberty Magazine. Paramount followed up with this movie. I've no idea if the rest of it is as outlandish as this scene, but perhaps someone else has seen this?

It's Cary Grant vs. Jack LaRue. Who wins?
