Cary Grant: Movies
built 620 days ago
The Toast of New York: Cary Grant, Edward Arnold and Jack Oakie are smalltime peddlers who hit the big time on Wall Street after the Civil War. Frances Farmer plays the ambitious young actress who comes between them. Although Nick Boyd (CG) is a bit stiff and unremarkable, he fits in nicely with the lovable scoundrel character that Grant perfected in his later career. The script has an ultra-condensed Citizen Kane thread, but the main thrust of Toast is buddy comedy which relies entirely on the chemistry between the three leads to propel it forward. This movie may be low on Susanity, but it's still a decent flick. "Susan, Susan"

After being approached by producers Albert Broccoli and Harry Saltzman for the role of James Bond, Grant purposely named a paycheck figure that would be too high for the studio to pay. At this, the producers reluctantly walked away, noticing, as they did, that one of Grant's gardener's at his mansion looked surprising handsome and suave. Offering him a movie deal, he replied only with his name: Sean Connery. The rest is history.
