Amazon.co.uk Review
Writing with the low-key stylishness his subject deserves, academic Graham McCann pays tribute to the working-class Englishman who became "a democratic symbol of gentlemanly grace" to moviegoers world-wide. Aptly subtitled A Class Apart, the book sympathetically depicts Archie Leach--born into poverty, his mother committed to an asylum when he was nine--reinventing himself as Cary Grant, whose debonair screen persona showed no signs of these difficult origins. A decorous account of Grant's private life (McCann dismisses talk of bisexuality as mere rumour) accompanies cogent descriptions of his performances. --Christine Buttery --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Synopsis
A biography of British-born Hollywood legend Cary Grant, which explores the ambiguities of his life and work, looking at how a working class Englishman managed to portray a well-bred American, and how Grant the playful entertainer became a powerful businessman.
