Cary Grant DVD

| DVD

When Bristol born Archie Leach changed his name to Cary Grant a new Hollywood star was about to be born. Equally at home with action adventure movies or in light romantic comedy roles Grant was the epitome of the suave stylish leading man. This box set features him in three of his classic movies - Amazing Adventure His Girl Friday and Penny Serenade and also includes a biography of Grant - Cary Grant on Film. Amazing Adventure: In an effort to subdue a bout of depression a millionaire playboy (Cary Grant) makes a 50 000 British pound bet with a psychiatrist that... he could become a famous business tycoon without using his family's inheritance. Based on the novel ""The Amazing Quest"" by Ernest Bliss. (Dir. Alfred Zeisler 1937) His Girl Friday: This hilarious re-working of The Front Page by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur sees Grant as the savage editor and in a switch the reporter played by scheming Rosalind Russell. This version adds the twin lures of sex and romance. The film moves at whirlwind speed as Director Howard Hawks instructed his actors to overlap their lines so much so that at times everyone seems to be talking at once. Hawks also had his cast move at twice the normal speed so the screen looks frantic from scene to scene thus conveying the urgency of the news world he was depicting. It's undoubtedly Cary Grant's greatest comedic role proving once again the amazing versatility of this Hollywood legend. (Dir. Howard Hawks 1940) Penny Serenade: Penny Serenade is the story of Julie and Roger Adams. It is an honest look at a happy if not exactly peaceful period in the domestic life of a newspaperman and a former salesgirl in a music shop. (Dir. George Stevens 1941) [show more]
