A must have for Archibald Leach fans.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago

In my opinion Cary Grant was one of the greatest actors to ever walk in front of a movie camera and this wonderful books covers all of his movies from his uncredited appearance in the 10-minute SINGAPORE SUE (1932) to WALK, DON'T RUN (1966) with hundreds of photographs, full credits, synopsis and much to my delight: vintage film reviews, even bad ones! Some of them are laugh out loud funny, brutal and full of venom. One even said that I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE was not for the "squeamish"! What the hell? Besides the films, there is a solid, but short, biography featuring dozens of great personal and behind the scenes photographs. And if that's not enough there's a listing of all of Cary's radio and television appearances and even a list of his special appearances in movies, including war effort shorts. I've read this book cover to cover many times and still pick it up just to browse and for reference. I really wish I could see some of the films that have never made it on DVD, especially the 1933 live action version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND where Cary wears a turtle outfit the whole time!
