CGiii Comment

An affectionate film...indeed, [selectively] informative...with a rather erratic timeline.

But...what about that great big elephant - dressed in a bright pink, sequined tutu - standing on one leg in the middle of the room whistling Dixie?!?

Cary Grant lived with a man for years...not a mention. You can almost hear - his daughter - Jennifer's demands for her appearance/endorsement...do NOT mention Randolph Scott! The LSD is fine! If Scott's in, I'm out!

Rather eye-opening as it is - what with Mr Grant's penchant for LSD...but, it's still a biography with great big chunks missing!

The(ir) Blurb...

For the first time one of Hollywood's greatest stars tells his own story, in his own words. From a childhood of poverty to global fame, Cary Grant, the ultimate self-made star, explores his own screen image and what it took to create it.
