To e sure, if Obama does indeed find himself across the stage from McCain during the autumn pre-election debates, it will be like 1960 all over again, when John F.

Interestingly, James Stewart was Hitchcock's original choice for the roleofRoger Thornhill, the hapless ad man who is mistaken for a spy who doesn'teven exist to begin with and is chased half way across the country byvillains and authorities for a murder he didn't commit. For one reason oranother, Stewart was unavailable and the part went to Cary Grant instead.Grant seems better suited to the character and the situation than Stewartwould have been, but I can easily picture Stewart being chased in thecornfield by the crop duster.

This is how pathetic cinema has become these days - this is also why TV is so much better. Its not that we don&t have the same caliber of stars as Cary Grant , Jimmy Stewart. We have Javier BardemRyan Gosling ,  Phillip Seymour Hoffman and they are all indelible (valleygirlintel....a.vox.com/)

Set piece after set piece, Hitchcock puts Cary Grant through the paces and pulls the viewer along to his most purely entertaining offering.

What the film got weirdly right was the casting of Cary Grant becauseeither by his choice or director Michael Curtiz 's design, Grant'swithholding, enigmatic performance is intriguing, and does most of thework of spelling out 'the gay thing' for audiences in the know then andnow. DE LOVELY may well be frank about the fact that Porter was gay,but gay audiences would have gotten the point in NIGHT AND DAY anyway.Lovely, elegant, chilly Alexis Smith does all the pursuing in the film,as do the other women, and yet Cole is charmingly evasive with all ofthem. They want him - who wouldn't want to sleep with Cary Grant atthe peak of his beauty? - but he doesn't seem to care about anythingbut his music. Hmmmm. Where have we heard that before? Even whenLinda/Alexis lands him, he's never really hers, he always seems to havehis mind and heart elsewhere. There is absolutely no suggestionanywhere in this film that there was intense passion, emotion or loveon his side of this relationship, which is unusual in this perio (www.imdb.com/title/tt0038776/)

This was Grant's fourth and final appearance on screen with Hepburn.It's a typical Cary Grant part, witty and urbane, with a touch of therogue in him. He's Hepburn's ex-husband, still very much in love withhis ex-wife, but she's marrying stuffed shirt John Howard (www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/)
