He's always been my favorite âïžâ€
It could be said Cary did not get an Oscar because most of his roles were of a comedic nature and traditionally this did not result in receiving an Oscar. However, he still has a very special place in Hollywood with the greats. it will be interesting to see how good Jason Isaacs version of him is in the bio pic Archie to be shown shortly on ITV?
Itâs well known that the Academy doesnât really honor comedyâs very often, especially in the acting categories. While he was nominated twice, he should have been nominated more and of the two films he was nominated for, I think his best chance to have gotten the Academy Award was for None But the Lonely Heart, though Bing Crosby did a great job in Going My Way. Thank you for the video man, I hope youâre doing very well. Take care!
Yes, they always had a bias against horror and comedy.
Yes cary took along time for oscar and not even for a picture the same happened to john Wayne getting an oscar for True Grit when he had much better roles like Rio Bravo and others.
I think Red River featured John Wayne's best performance.
Charisma, class and style by the bucket load, and debonair to aspire to.
Cool. Instead of Sinatra, the Academy should have chosen Randolph Scott as the presenter... Now THAT would have been one hell of an historical moment!
So independent and wonderful,he should have had many Oscars tragic .đđđđâ€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđ
He was a great actor. One of my favorites was My Favorite Wife.
He gave a fine dramatic performance in Penny Serenade.
He was brilliant, ahead of his time and gorgeous! 4:17
The 1966 movie "Walk, Don't Run" was a bit of a stinker, and a poor choice for the ending of a remarkable career. However, I heard the story a bit differently than you have presented it. This is that version of the decision of Cary Grant to retire.
Grant did not reject character roles more suited to his age, in fact he tried it brilliantly in his second to last film, "Father Goose" in 1964. Grant, scruffy and unshaven, plays a bit of a drunken scam artist, caught up in the initial Japanese onslaught of World War II. Grant's conman gets conned himself by a British naval officer into serving as a makeshift coast watcher behind enemy lines, and gets saddled with some French Catholic school girls and their teacher on an uninhabited desert isle. Grant's performance shines in the role. However, the film was panned by the critics, and the public was said to not be able to accept Cary Grant in such a role. So Grant did not reject playing these type of roles, but he believed that they had been proven unsuccessful, so he threw in the towel. He was, however, under obligation to make "Walk, Don't Run" so he finished up with that, kinda phoning it in. That's the version I have heard.
In my humble opinion, "Father Goose" was one of Grant's best comic films, and it's a pity it didn't get the recognition it deserved. Grant had many great performances left in him, and the movie going public is the poorer because he retired too soon.
He was great in father gooseâ€
It was my favorite movie growing up, I must have seen it a hundred times â€
This channel is full of bs, flat-out inventing stuff about lesser-known stars, so take anything they say about Grant with a grain of salt. I liked Father Goose as well, wish he had done more in that line.
Cary Grant never looked bad in a photo.
Do you know he was part of an Xmas album one time?. He also did a 45 rpm where he was pitching a song.
Yes!
