Cary Grant Month on TCM

Cary GrantThe June Star of the Month on Turner Classic Movies is Cary Grant - which I am plenty excited about. Grant is one of my favorite movie stars. I tried to watch the Cary Grant: A Class Apart documentary that premiered yesterday evening while wrangling some kids. I got to watch most of it, but I'm banking on a rebroadcast of the show later this month scheduled later in the evening to see the whole thing. The kids' bedtime won't get in the way then. Heather says I need Tivo.

I've always enjoyed Cary Grant movies. Bringing Up Baby, North by Northwest, Notorious, The Bishop's Wife, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday - the list goes on and on. Cary Grant has always embodied so much of what I love about classic films from the 1940s and 1950s - classy and debonair, with a sense of style, grace, and humor all mixed together to create an intellectually and emotionally entertaining film.

I can't watch TCM enough, and this month I want to try and watch it even more. Maybe I do need Tivo.
