04/20/2008 | Cary Grant invented the personna that he used in virtually every movie he was in. (after he became a star) He showed a good deal more range in his early films but I have to say he was wonderful to watch on the big screen. Some of my faves: "Father Goose", "Operation Petticoat", "Charade" with the lovely Audrey Hepburn, "North by Northwest", and a less stellar film but one I enjoy is "Arsenic and Old Lace". Also the only way you could be sure of someones' sexual orientation is if you had an encounter with them. Otherwise, you are just passing along rumors.

03/08/2007 | He usually played the same character; however, I must bump him to 5 stars because of his presence, bearing and appearance.

09/23/2006 | Even with his understated mannerisms and often self-deprecating aura, Cary Grant certainly had a strong screen presence. Grant's style and delivery was always witty, cerebral, and "I'm above all of this" (situational), but at the same time he almost always related to the average Joe. In some ways, Cary Grant and Hugh Grant are similar in this regard. Clearly from my comments, I consider the elder Grant a five star classical actor.

11/25/2005 | He had an effortless screen pressence that tended to make you overlook his talent as an actor. He oozed charm and wit, and had the best comic timing of the classic film era.

11/14/2005 | I haven't seen a tremendous amount of his work, but just finished watching "The Bishop's Wife" which was a charming holiday fairy-tale for adults (not that it's germane to a critique of Grant, but Loretta Young is absolutely lovely in the film). I can't say that Grant was a great actor based on the work of his that I've seen, but he did light comedy very well, and had an insouciant charm that's still irresistable all these years later. And I can safely guess that he was second only to Clark Gable as a favorite of the female viewership. Wonder if there was anything to those rumors about him and Randolph Scott...(not that there's anything wrong with it if they're true...)

10/07/2005 | I have always liked Cary Grant. He was a versatile actor.I loved him in Penny Seranade I still get choked up at the scene where he is begging the judge to let them keep their adoptive baby girl.He could be funny too. He was just as good in Father Goose as the the man who must share his small island with a a teacher and seven school girls.He was a very classy actor. I loved to hear him talk him talk, He accent was unique.

08/07/2005 | Don't get me wrong, I love Cary's films and was a handsome and capable actor. I just choke on the irony that many people adored him, and his awesome image, and he was a homosexual (or at least bisexual). The rumours were very much substantiated, and (for the record) someone marrying a woman doesn't make them straight, just married. Just goes to show how Hollywood can hide elements of actor from the public. Anyway, he should be remembered as the great performer he was.

04/11/2005 | Grant had this sort of suave, classic appeal that no one else has been able to put across the screen. He was smolderingly sexy, wonderfully handsome and fantastically classy and dignified. His performance was always true and never comprimised. In other words, incredibly attractive, amazingly great actor.

01/21/2005 | I like Cary Grant, he's handsome and funny. He's a good actor but he doesn't really have much of a range. He usually plays the same kind of character all the time. But whenever there's a Cary Grant movie on I watch it. I wish they were on more often.

09/17/2004 | You've got to give credit where credit is due. This guy was a class act.
Every woman adored him, every man wanted to be him. And he could act too. Comedies, dramas, thrillers (i.e. Hitchcock).
Not the every man that Jimmy Stewart was, who is my other favorite actor of the classic era. Seeing them together in The Philadelphia Story remains a total joy.

07/29/2004 | Cary Grant invented coolness. It was once said that everybody wanted to be like Cary Grant, even Cary Grant. I must also add that he had a very good taste for women and was married to some of the most youngest and beautiful women of the time, despite the rumors of his bi-sexualness.

07/08/2004 | How cool was this guy? Watch 'Charade'. In short, Cary Grant was among the greatest actors ever to grace the silver screen. Blessed not only with style, Grant was a natural at his craft, eliciting a wide range of emotions from moviegoers. Epitomizing suave, he was who Ian Fleming imagined James Bond should be and hoped for to fill the legendary role.

12/28/2003 | I can't believe that people don't rate Cary Grant higher than this. He is probably the best and most diverse of Classic Actor ever. I mean I could watch Philadelphia Story, Notorius (sp?) and North By Northwest forever and never get tired of them and always find something new to appreciate about Cary Grant's acting and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

12/04/2003 | Great comedic actor. I admit, I haven't seen him in any of his dramatic roles, but he was brilliantly funny in the classic comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace and was also good in That Touch of Mink.

12/04/2003 | *Swoons* Wasn't Cary Grant just a treasure to look at? I mean, why can't men still wear suits and hats? Anyway, more to the point, Cary Grant was a fantastic actor with a commanding screen presence. It's just too bad that he never received the acclaim that he should have. I adored An Affair To Remember and even thinking back on Cary's subtle elegance and romance-book perfection makes me sigh.

11/09/2003 | By the far the most handsome man God ever created for Hollywood. Cary Grant's appeal was that he was an everyman, but he had a sense of humor and charm. Plus that accent helps a bit too. He is hysterical in Arsenic and Old Lace, one of the funniest movies of all time. The comedy isn't forced, it is very natural. He is equally as charming in Father Goose, The Philadelphia Story, and Bringing Up Baby. In some of his dramas such as North by Northwest, Notorious, and Nothing But the Lonely Heart to name just a few he is equally as appealing still adding a bit of humor.

06/03/2003 | This guy was good looking and very suave, adroit at light comedy and convincing at times in dramatic roles, but he's one of the most overrated actors in Hollywood history. He appeared in alot of undistinguished crap, and was undistinguished in doing so: his agent should have gotten him some better roles. Very good in "Notorious" and "North By Northwest" and "Father Goose." One of the biggest closet cases in Tinsel Town: he could take it or snake it, and that was career-threatening conduct back in the primitive and unenlightened past. But he wasn't alone in this...

08/06/2002 | Even now, after all these years, and after countless other handsome faces have come and gone, Cary Grant is still the one Hollywood actor I want to be most like. He knew how to handle the verbal barrages of beautiful women with a smile and a witty comeback, and it seemed as though he ALWAYS got to the woman rather than vice versa. The personification of style and class, he knew the importance of "never letting them see him sweat," even while carrying out timeless comedy. I'm sure that as we speak, he's making the angels blush in Heaven.

01/12/2002 | Hard to choose between Grant and Stewart as to which would be my favourite all-time "classic" actor, although Grant is probably JUST in front, since he looked so much like my grandfather who I loved to bits. Grant was charismatic, classy and a true gentleman, unfortunately, they don't make them like him any more!

07/07/2001 | He is one of the hottest classic actors ever! Suave ,debonaire, and charming describe Cary Grant. He also had great talent to boot! I will never forget him in such films as Philadelphia Story, to Catch a Thief, North by Northwest, Suspicion, Charade, and many more. It is amazing to me that he never won an Oscar for any of those roles. He certainly should have. It's not necessarily a fact that he had an affair with a guy so I don't let it tarnish my image of him. That's his personal life anyway.

07/05/2001 | He was so handsome, but at the same time he was secure enough as an actor to allow himself to be the butt of many gags. He never seemed to mind making a picture where his vunerable side was shown. He could act absent minded or be a clutz and we laughed, but always wanted to be like him. Regardless of the role he was playing on screen, we never saw him in a bad light.

05/20/2001 | He was the definition of suave, sophisticated and debonair. But I think his great appeal lay in his ability to be all that and still be able to do fall on your face humor. That kind of thing is always a killer combination and the reason I liked him as much in movies like “Father Goose” as anything else he ever did. Humor had a way of bringing this untouchably handsome man to a level of reality that actually made him seem accessible. He was a genius at that kind of thing I think because, for all his looks, success, fortune and fame, Cary never forgot that young cockney chap Archibald Leach.

03/28/2001 | Cary Grant is an excellent actor. His gift for acting is showplaced in films such as To Catch a Thief, An Affair to Remember, and one of the best movies ever... The Philadelphia Story (also starring Katherine Hepburn, and Jimmy Stewart) He has an intellegent sound to his voice so playing the classy guy seemed to be his forte, (even when he played a cat burgular in To Catch a Theif, along side Grace Kelly). 5 stars? absolutely!
