Cary Grant, a Celebration

Description

This 1995 edition of Richard Schickel’s hagiographic tribute to Cary Grant was updated after the actor’s death, the original edition having been published in 1983 on Grant’s 80th birthday. If you are looking for saucy speculative tittle-tattle about the man behind the myth, look elsewhere, for this is a book with chapter titles like ‘Impeccable Magic’, ‘The Ground Under His feet’ and ‘Bedazzling’. By the time you have finished reading this in-depth book, you will know almost as much about Cary Grant’s career as Schickel himself. The book also works on another, perhaps more important level: as a sartorial guide to the style of Cary Grant, with countless photographs of his excellent clothing. This is a large format hardback in very good condition.
