Cary Grant tribute narrated by Michael Caine

A Cary Grant tribute narrated by Michael Caine that aired on TCM.

[@degs24]

He had such an exceptional amount of class, and a brilliant sense of humor.

[@jimmbo13]

He was a freak of nature...genetically its so improbable to look as handsome as he did!

[@Acapulco08]

IngridBergmanRocked - I totally agree. I have watched Casablanca twice, and it sad to say that I got bored with both times. However, Notorious is my favorite movie ever. I have seen it 1000X and can't get enough of it. The chemistry b/w Cary and Ingrid is breath taking. It was my first real DVD that I have bought. LOVE NOTORIOUS & CARY GRANT OBSESSIVELY. T

[@wanmunsho]

the guy was gud lukin,charmin,classy,witty& a whole lot more.The Complete package.What a deadly combination

[@GeorgiaBoy1961]

Cary Grant was voted the quintessential movie star of all time in a poll some years ago, and it is hard to argue the point. "North by Northwest" and "To Catch A Thief" are unsurpassed entertainments and examples of Hitch at his finest - but one cannot imagine either of these films without Grant himself. Not only was Grant handsome, talented and charming, one got the sense that he never took himself too seriously - as so many stars do today.

[@Rico8458]

the world will never see another grant. he was the number one of all times.

[@helenevans9250]

It is beyond me that Cary Grant never received an Oscar. I agree with Michael Caine when he says they do not give Oscars for funny performances. But Cary was the FULL package............. just check out his outstanding performances in dramas such as None but the Lonely when his mother is on her deathbed, or when he pleads with the judge in Penny Serenade ! Outstanding ! Obviously his comedic roles speak for themselves. Add to this potent mix, a self effacing humour, wit charm and the best looking male to have EVER graced the screens, well you simply have the BEST actor of all time. Oscar or no Oscar !

[@Jenny-ru4hf]

Totally agree!

[@headzapp99]

Didn't he get an honorary Oscar?

[@roter13]

Tim Tindall yes but not a competitive oscar

[@edbrown8254]

Yes, the clip is on KZbin. Unfortunately Frank Sinatra ruined the presentation with his hammy and egotistic introduction.

[@chrisholzhauer3698]

I'll personally take a classic Cary Grant film over what's coming out of theaters now any day of the week. If you're a fan of his check out his daughter's book: "Good Stuff"- great pictures of him in later years and sweet memories from the one who knew him best. It's one of my favorites.

[@RMS1103]

My all time favorite actor. He was flawless.

[@emiliakatz]

Certainly one of the best actors of all times....handsome, elegant, sophisticated,and very talented.

[@Rickmicheals]

my favorite movie star. He is the best! Thanks for posting this

[@MrImiller07]

There is a wonderful story in which Cary Grant , then in his 70s , was attending a film charity event and gave his name to the woman in charge of seating; she said, "You don't look like Cary Grant". He replied, "I know, nobody does". He was an extraordinary and charming actor; he was in arguably, Hitchcock's greatest films; North By Northwest, Notorious, Suspicion, To Catch A Thief. He was a loyal friend, and next to Astaire, the epitome of style and good dressing.

[@rajande]

Great!! I don't have enough words to thank the uploader.

[@JuneLynn]

Michael Caine and Cary Grant....both handsome and class acts all the way : ))

[@tiffsaver]

I ran into a young actress lately, and when she told me that she'd never seen a Cary Grant movie, I replied: "Then you're no actor."

[@transonicbuoy]

This is incredible.

[@MichelleRaiford]

Damn I love Cary Grant. The bishop's Wife has been a fave since childhood.

[@123Scears123]

He was also one of the few that bucked the studio system and went his own way, writing his own contracts. This is one of the reasons he had to wait so long for an Oscar. Great strength of character. I have a silly wish. I would love to know if he could still speak his (and mine) home town Bristol dialect. Just imagine, Cary Grant speaking like Vicky Pollard!

[@FrameCatcher04]

The greatest body of work in acting history!!!

[@PhilipMReeder]

"Mr. Blandings Builds Dream House" - My FAVORITE!

[@adhc8560]

@VALHALLAXE - Me too! I have in my collection and it's still funny today!

[@robertcobb9823]

I'm 32 years old and there isn't one actor today who could hold a match to Cary Grant.. My mother lived in LA back in the mid 50's and met Cary Grant at an Italian place called Vinncenzo's in LA.. She didn't know he was a film star till after she met him but said in person he was unbelievably beautiful... He was 6'2 which is unheard of nowadays where every male actor is 5'9 or shorter.

[@rjc071]

Timeless.

[@needahandle]

I love Caine's voice and a fan in general and oh yeah, Grant = worthy

[@geoffjoffy]

Excellent tribute. I always thought Cary was a great actor, a funny man and very good looking. Charming and yes, 'there was nothing wrong with him. Still a fan today.

[@FrancescoBiondolillo]

superbo, attori .....destinazione...hollywood...grazie del video...francesco.-

[@allcleansmith9003]

Cary Grant was the best actor of all time,he was so good he played himself all the time,....ps David Niven played the first bond,but the film makers wanted Grant to make 5 007 films.

[@mysticempathvibes4231]

Sir Laurence Olivier said that Cary Grant was the greatest film actor of the 20th century because he behaved for the camera eye. So very true.

[@elevengiant]

It all connects now. James Bond & King Leonidas have always been my screen idols. No wonder I like Cary Grant.

[@cinemapsycho91]

If another documentary should ever be made on Cary Grant, I think it should be entitled, "Cary Grant: The Quintessential Leading Man."

[@jamescreaton8390]

i went to the same school as Cary Grant in Bristol, I remember an old guy coming to the school once who had been there with him to give us a talk, apparently he was expelled

[@RubyTuesday717]

My respect for both Michael Caine and Cary Grant just doubled.

[@TheCarole63]

happy Birthday, Mr. Grant!!

[@hotsauce3888]

The king of suave

[@melclo3641]

He should have had an Oscar for Penny Serenade

[@231pam]

Oh my, that fact at 1:53 (sigh)!

[@richardnix4935]

It may sound unbelievable to some people, but most of my movie-lover friends see him in me. I didn't know who he was until now.

[@vinayakumaran]

The "handsomest" guy who ever lived.

[@fariwah4770]

A true natural and a was known for being professional while on set

[@DM-kv9kj]

"Something for your sweet tooth, baby, and all your other sweet parts!"

[@JokinglySerious]

The author actually wrote james bond with cary grant in mind, basing it on him.

[@MrImiller07]

The Bond producers Saltzman and Broccoli considered several prominent actors for the role, however, Grant, at 58, was arguably too old for the role in 1962, when the series commenced. Moreover, they were operating on a modest budget for the initial two Bond films; Dr. No was made for a million and From Russia With Love was below five million. Grant would have demanded a sweeter deal to do multiple films. Connery was ultimately at war with the producers over money generated by the films.

[@Bnpoff]

@sat233238 I find it amazing that no one has pointed this out to you, but Ian Fleming had Cary Grant in mind when he created James Bond, at least, somewhat. They wanted Cary Grant to play Bond, but he refused, saying that he felt he was too old. I do agree, though. Cary Grant would have been an amazing Bond.

[@okonh0wp]

that makes a lot of sense. as a guy, i'm not threatened by cary grant, even though he seems like a distant social class and significantly more good-looking than me, there is like that common man too, he would have probably been a really cool guy to meet

[@ctyler1859]

If Cary Grant had twins, they would have come out as George Clooney and Matt Leblanc.

[@TheSpiritOfTheTimes]

Are these tributes actually written by the actors that narrate them? They probably have some help right?

[@JokinglySerious]

Dr. No, the first james bond, was made in 1962. Grant was born in 1904, so he would have been 57. So I assume that the producers deemed him too old for the part, as the author of James Bond had also died, so I assume they just chose a younger actor..

[@emiliakatz]

@jimmbo13 You are certainly right I forgot to mention "suave". Without doubt his best attribute.

[@joeofmacabre07]

can anyone tell me the title of the background music? it makes me...."CARY GRANT"

[@metalrod23]

If todays actors even think they are as good as Cary Grant, they should apologize.

[@trevorkeyes2376]

cary was the king of all leading men would of made an excellent james bond

[@seekerphn]

which background score is played in this video?

[@gs032009]

Do you have Night and day starring Cary Grant?

[@hieuto5183]

What's this show?

[@JokinglySerious]

what film is 0:14 from?

[@praapje]

@ecoke69 They're are rumours who said he was gay or biseksual (living with Randolph Scott for 12 years). I must say that his acting does show some feminine touches. But...who the hell cares? Maybe he teased the media about it or he was himself not sure about it. I think he's one of the best actors in Hollywood: funny, impeccable timing, incredibly physical acting (from his vaudeville days) and very diverse roles. Yes, he was really a good actor and a stand out persona. He made it look so easy!

[@mirza9604]

Which film is the scene at 2:03 from?

[@tingpei720]

"The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer" with Myrna Loy and Shirley Temple.

[@Bubbles99718]

2:02 was Philadelphia Story. 2:03 where he's sitting with the dark suit, I don't think it Bachelor, not sure though.

[@EGRJ]

tl;dr summary: Like a boss.

[@beelzibubbles]

Honerary oscar.

[@desertrose777]

The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer.

[@nicolarestaino9114]

i like

[@IngridBergmanRocked]

I LOVE Notorious 100X better than Casablanca. Bogart & Bergman were good, but Grant & Bergman were SMOKIN'! Kudos to Hitchock, Hecht, Ingrid, Cary, Claude & Madame Konstantin.

[@geniebamboo]

no actually Cary refused to sign up to play James Bond. They wanted him to sign to do a series of movies and he declined to sign up for more than one. so they picked Sean Connery who they regarded as a sort of knock off of Cary Grant

[@elevengiant]

why didnt he play bond?

[@trevorkeyes1694]

He would of been excellent as James bond cary Grant won't to be

[@KraftwithaK]

Crazy hansom

[@aaronmichaels3031]

why did he get so wrinkled though? smoking and alcohol?

[@jugifu]

Sipping cocktails in the sun can do that to a guy....lol. I love where Cain says he gives young men all over the world a goal in life. This is exactly how I feel about Cary. One in a million.

[@ChristopherDH]

+Aaron Ventura He didn't get wrinkled. You have to understand that he made movies over a forty year span (1922-1966).

[@charlesmander3065]

It is called ageing; eventually you get so old you die.

[@freakspeely]

He quit smoking by the 1960s but he was an obsessive tanner. That ages the skin quickly.

[@jimmbo13]

@emiliakatz The suavest of all time.

[@JokinglySerious]

You are so unbelievably wrong.

[@cheddyrod]

First of all, every knows that Cary Grant was not gay. I did notice the number of times that you have returned to this site. What this shows is that you are having a male sexual identity problem. If you want to be gay that is your affair, but don't be annoying by showing us your problem!

[@pincopalino3378]

What does "Sir Michael Caine" have in common with "Cary Grant"? they changed their names. BUT "Cary Grant" epitomises an "englishness" that Maurice Micklewhite helped dismantle. Big mistake "Sir Caine" - big, big mistake.

[@TheAlliOFFICIAL]

Which film is the scene at 1:54 from?

[@theengland8285]

The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer
