Happy Birthday, Cary Grant

A little levity and a pleasant break from all the primary politics.

A beautiful tribute to a man's man. No metrosexuals here.

Enjoy.

I have come to appreciate Cary Grant and his movies more now, maybe it is because I can watch many of those old movies on the Turner of Fox movie channels. What a multi-talented man.

The old actors really paid their dues, and most of them could sing, dance, do comedy and drama. What a difference from the one-dimensional actors of today.

What made Grant excel was his elegance even while doing pratfalls. A glorious actor.

You’ve been listening to too much gay propaganda.

“I heard he went both ways....mans man indeed.”

Chevy Chase thought so too and Cary Grant got pretty upset.

One of my favorite movies: Arsenic and Old Lace. Cary Grant, Raymond Massey as his homicidal brother Jonathan, Peter Lorre... At one point he is in the room with his older brother, who he hasn’t seen in years. He stamps on Jonathan’s foot hard, and there’s no indication Jonathan felt it. He pokes the leg with a fork, and Jonathan keep droning on...

Always respect Bogart as well for the same reasons.
