Hollywood's Golden Age: The Films of Cary Grant

Welcome to HPL's new film and television blog, HPL Videophiles, highlighting staff-recommended movies or television shows.

I recommend the films of Cary Grant. He was one of the stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, having been voted the Second Greatest Male Star of that time period (1927-1960) by the American Film Institute in 1999.

Grant was unique in that he had leading man charisma and looks yet didn't take himself too seriously. In these highlighted films, sometimes he even leaned towards slapstick comedy.

Below are but two of Grant's classic films that HPL has in its collection. If you like them, our library and our local system have dozens of his films, some of which are Oscar nominees or winners, all of which are classics.
