Classic movie. My friends mom used to watch this all the time lol

Robert Jewell

Yaaaaaaaaay! Been waiting for weeks!

Stephen Malloy

Please put High Noon on your list. One of Grace Kelly’s earliest appearances in movies, it’s considered one of the greatest Westerns of all time.

Matt Stafford

Cary Grant sort of played James Bond in arguably his greatest Hitchcock movie, "Notorious" costarring Ingrid ("Casablanca") Bergman!

JustALilTired

Carey Grant was not American actually, he was originally from England!

Alex Leach

Grant was a gymnast/acrobat - he first travelled to the US as a member of a troupe. I think it was on the stretch of road near Robie’s villa where Grace Kelly met her tragic death in a car accident.

Chip Smith

A cat burglar is a thief who breaks into places using stealth and usually by climbing to upper floors or roofs to do so.

Doc Larry/old geezer

It Takes a Thief (1968 TV series) with Robert Wagner was inspired by this movie. Carey Grant in real life was an acrobat before he was an actor.

William Brownlee

The members of the kitchen staff was in the resistance to the Germans with Cary. After the war they were paroled and if Cary was caught doing more crimes they thought the police would put all of them back in jail. Great writing. These are some of the movies I wish younger people would watch.

Happy Hanukkah

Cary Grant: "Everyone wants to be Cary Grant - even I want to be Cary Grant."

Clarence Newman

Looking forward to watching this one. I remember enjoying it when I watched before, and it's a nice little treat in my long PiB movie drought. (I'm not complaining, though. By the sound of it, I'm about to get buried in great films!) Oh, and also....Grace Kelly.

Clarence Newman

I remember the Cindy Crawford quote from the 90s: "Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford."

Kristian

That'a a good one! PiB should definately watch it and also the James Stewart version of The Man Who Knew Too Much.

Clay F

I watched that series as a kid as it aired. I will always remember Robert Wagner that way.

Chris Thom

He had some troubles psychologically. Abandonment issues with his mother after his father had her committed but told him she had died. He was actually one of the first Americans to try LSD in therapy. His psychologist gave it to him. He claimed it helped him worth through his sadness.

Joe J

Cassie seems to only like old movies starring Cary Grant, lol.

Clarence Newman

That's because she's got a blind spot for the 60s. Once she gets her teeth into McQueen and Newman, there'll be no stopping her. I think she would also like Brando of the early 50s.

Joe J

I mainly saw "It Takes a Thief" in reruns in the early 70s. So many great shows in the 60s & 70s..and 80s also. Memories don't age...so it never seems so long ago.

Joe J

The trifecta...The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, and Bullitt. Are we greedy Clarence..I think not.

Clarence Newman

Those three are a no-brainer, Joe. Which is very lucky for me. I would also add The Cincinnati Kid (1965)

Chris Thom

Also Jimmy Stewart and Kate Hepburn.

He became an American citizen after Pearl Harbor. So yes, an American. His daughter said he was proud to be an American. “The national anthem went straight to Dad’s heart.”

Catherine LW

I think she enjoys the fun of his films. Ralph Lauren once said, “Whenever I want to feel happy, I watch a Cary Grant movie.”

He sure had a tough childhood. Born to a working class family, although his mother was more middle class. She married beneath her class. His father was a presser for a tailor shop. She suffered from severe depression after the death of Archie’s older brother. She blamed herself for accidentally closing a door on his finger, which got infected and killed him (I think he was only a toddler). This was before antibiotics. She was at his bedside for days, and the doctor told her to get some sleep. So she went to take a nap and the baby died. She never forgave herself for not being with him at the end. Archie was born later, but his mother never talked about his older brother. She would lapse into bouts of depression and some doctors said she was schizophrenic. But she was an attentive mother and pushed Archie to excel in school. He did so well academically that he got a scholarship to a private school, where he excelled in Mathematics and Geography. Meanwhile his father dealt with the child’s death by sinking into alcoholism. His parents stuck together but it seemed that they led separate lives. One day Archie came home when he was about 12 and his mother was gone. His father told him she needed a rest at some institution. Weeks later Archie asked when she was coming home. He was told that she died. His father found a new woman and started a new family. The stepmother didn’t want him around so he was sent to live with his grandparents. He once said he mainly remembered being cold and hungry all the time. He began to suffer academically, skipping school and hanging around the new Bristol Theater, where they were installing electric lighting, which fascinated him. He thought about becoming an apprentice to an electrician. One day, he and schoolmate sneaked into the girls’ side of the school. They peeked into the girls’ locker room and bathrooms. He got caught and was expelled from school. He didn’t tell his father. He met a group of young vaudeville acrobats and decided to join. He wanted to make money because there was never enough food to eat. Eventually his father found out his son was traveling around England performing with this troupe and finally agreed to let him work. After a few years, his troupe got a 2 year contract to perform in NYC. He was 16 and excited to go. His father gave his permission and Archie went to America for the first time. After the 2 years were up, he was 18 and decided to stay in NY. He began performing on stage with another vaudeville troupe for several years. He continued to send money home to his father, whose alcoholism brought poverty. When Archie heard that the new thing was “talkies” in Hollywood, he decided to move. He bought a car and drove to California to make his fortune. Years later, he was a rising star, and making good money. He kept sending money to his father, whose health was failing. He received a letter from his father, confessing that his mother was alive and living in an insane asylum. He immediately sailed to England, hired an attorney and got his mother out of the asylum. He bought her a house in the same neighborhood where she had brothers and sisters so they could look after her. She didn’t want to come to the US, so he arranged to have a doctor and his lawyer take care of finances so she could live comfortably. His wife at the time, Virginia Cherrill, who went with him, said he bought his mother diamond jewelry and a mink coat. Her response was, “Where in the world am I to wear all this?” Which hurt his feelings. Anyway, his father died shortly afterwards but Cary took care of his mother. In 1939, when it looked like war in Europe was looming, he sailed back to England to make her move out of Bristol, which was a major port city and target for bombing. Apparently she refused to go, and wouldn’t consider going back to the US with him, so he begged her to let him buy her a cottage in the country where it would be safer. He ended up saving her life because the neighborhood she lived in was bombed and she lost a sister, brother, niece and nephew in the war. Quite an interesting life!

I love Notorious! He and Ingrid Bergman were steaming!

JONATHAN REDFERN WILLIAMS

1.36 On the subject of Grace Kelly and Rear Window (1954), in a BBC Hitchcock documentary made in 1999, one retired crew member stated that "Every man who was lucky to work with Grace Kelly fell in love with her, me included! I'm sure even Hitchcock, nobody could be in her presence and not fall in love with her, such a lovely person!" at 6.24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE7Qc6NPet0

Jay Perry

This is a Hitchcock.mplease put it in the Hitchcock collection. Please!

KauaiKeith

Grace Kelly was the Princess of Monaco which is shown when they stop the car after racing through the hills. Also ironic is that she died driving through the same hills in the early 1980's.
