We just like to watch the great Hollywood stars, even in lesser movies. In fact, sometimes it's part of the fun, as if they know that we know that they know that the movie they're in isn't the greatest thing you ever saw them in. Classic Hollywood movies offer many pleasures, and star power is...

Or improperly introduced. "John"?

Nelson, Robin. Robin, Nelson. John, Zenda. Zenda, Josh. Now that you've been properly introduced, what are you guys waiting for?

192, Josh.

Happy birthday to the great Cary Grant! If he had never existed, the movies would have invented him, and if you know his back story, you'll probably agree that the movies did invent Cary Grant. He was one of a kind and irreplaceable. For further details, consult the 39 pages of this splendid HTF...

This thread is a great resource for home viewers of the movies of my personal favourite movie star, and it comes at the topic in a completely unique fashion: young guy discovers Hollywood legend, digs deep, pulls Cary Grant into the technological present. Your permanent place in Cary Grant fan...

I think Pee-Wee Herman was thinking of the "Bishop's Wife" figure skating (especially the cab driver's figure skating) when he put this in his rather wonderful Christmas Special:

My buddy! Keep living the dream, pal!

"Penny Serenade" has a nice Christmas sequence in it, which brings me to this: Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah to Josh Steinberg (and new bride!), and all of my fellow Cary Grant aficionados who are magnetically attracted to Josh's thread! Take us out, Cary: "It's Christmas Eve..."

No, you may be onto something here, Nelson. The 1955 Sunbeam Alpine was new in the early Fall of 1954, which means that after John and Francie shared that night of "fireworks", Francie may have become pregnant and assuming a slightly shortened gestational period given birth on May 1, 1955...

Everybody knows that the secret of life is a spouse with good taste.

I guess when you're in love, you naturally know about "When You're In Love". Welcome back, honeymooners!

As Cary Grant once said, "Even I want to be Josh Steinberg". Mazel tov, pal!

She'd appear in 8K UHD HDR, in every color you can imagine and plenty more colors you can't. However, she'd only be 2D.

It couldn't be one of the black-and-white ones. I hate colorization.

I remember going with my Dad to pick my Mom up after work (I was 4 in 1959), and Hollywood Hospital wasn't a big modern downtown hospital. It was a small private hospital in a residential part of New Westminster, the small riverside town where I was born (in a different, regular hospital). So...

Mind you, that would explain A LOT.

Those of you on Facebook should be able to see this posting of mine that actually got a response asking if my Mom took acid with Cary Grant! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210532323924855&set=a.1224580215152.34345.1248398511&type=3&theater&notif_t=like&notif_id=1476863497021207

I think that I can safely recommend Joseph Cotten's autobiography "Vanity Will Get You Somewhere" to fans of Cary Grant, and not just because Cary Grant gets referenced a few times in the book, most amusingly when the role Joseph Cotten played in the roadshow company of "The Philadelphia Story"...

What is "Roger O. Thornhill (after he marries Eve Kendall, for them to live happily ever after in)"?

Okay, now that I know I'm definitely on the right thread.

Can't I trust any of you guys?

My life as Roger O. Thornhill transitioned into Jerry Warriner, then eased back into my default setting: David Huxley.

Take your time, pal. Life first, Cary Grant second (maybe third or fourth).

There are four discs in the package?

. This one (sans me).

Here's a link to the Cary Grant articles over at Greenbriar Picture Shows. They love old movies, as demonstrated by the consistent and valuable historical perspective the site provides, and the photos, posters, and other visual aids to their articles are always fantastic...

Olive's "Penny Serenade" Blu-Ray is the only way to watch the movie on disc, as I've posted before. Here's my comment on "The Bishop's Wife" on disc, from another thread (the Blu-Ray has a few lines missing, though the intact sequence is on the 1997 DVD from HBO Home Video): The 1997 DVD has...

BOY, did I enjoy that Blu-Ray of "The Pride and the Passion". It isn't perfect, but in my modest home theatre it provides a Cary Grant movie experience for that film at last. Much appreciated as usual, Olive Films.

Cary Grant completely committed to going over the top in "Arsenic And Old Lace" because Frank Capra wanted it that way. He wasn't just a great movie star (the greatest, in my opinion), he was a great actor. He could have played that part any way Frank Capra or anybody else wanted, but when he...
