Summer Under the Stars: Cary Grant

Star of the Day: Cary Grant

Indiscreet (1958): "An actress who has given up on love meets a suave banker and begins a flirtation with him—although he's already married."

I mistakenly logged this years ago on Letterboxd, but upon further investigation, I'd never actually seen it. Easy choice for me on Cary Grant Day, then, because the only other new-to-me film was Destination Tokyo and it sounds boring compared to Cary and Ingrid Bergman reunited on the big screen.

This was fun! Charming! Elegant! Two titans going toe-to-toe in comedy, romance, and drama, light espionage, subterfuge... The costumes were gorgeous; the setting magnificent; the production design top notch. The directing?! Who doesn't love a Stanley Donen film! (Definitely not me!)

Cary Grant was such a suave actor who left behind a tremendous legacy of great performances. It's a marvel that I'm still discovering such great films at this stage of the game, having seen 50 of his films at this point. 

I must own Indiscreet on DVD!
