Cary Grant film and television appearances
Videos
Okay, I'm 22 but I've really got into movies from old hollywood recently, thanks to my grandma.
As for Cary Grant, I've seen North by Northwest, to Catch a Thief and now (tonight) Charade. I liked all of them, especially Charade and I like Cary Grant too but I'm not quite sold on him. He isnt in my list of top actors from the era.
It seems like in all the films I've seen he plays the same character. The witty, wise-cracking, suave romantic. I'd love to see a role of his with more emotional depth and layers. Some more variety.
Any help is appreciated :)
Black and white movie. Cary Grant type Main character.
Man walks across the street has some new money. He’s a poor type of guy and wanted to spend this newly acquired money. So he goes to this old acquaintance who does shoe shinning, resoling etc. and asks him to fix up his attire, especially his shoes. The old acquaintance comments how he wished the man came here sooner and he can tell by his shoes it’s been a rough few months. But the man changes his mind when he sees someone he knows and runs down the street and gives the money to that man.
I might have a few details off but this is the best I can remember.
