Grant was a marvellous actor. In fact, so marvellous that everything he did looked dead simple. Well, it wasn't .And his influence is all over the place. Basically every leading man you saw from the 40s onwards who is suave, funny, handsome and elegant is ripping Grant off in one way or the other. From Sean Connery's Bond, to George Clooney...the list is endless. Cary Grant started it. You don't have to be in a Shakeaspeare play to be an amazing actor.
@TheChannelTV-bt8em8 жыл бұрын
+Flappo Spammo Hey, listen up, "Flappo Spammo." If Cary Grant was "talentless," then so is every actor who ever tried to do light romantic comedy, the genre of which he remains the Tiffany's, the standard bearer, the paradigm. "Effortless" is more like it and no leading man, try though he may, has ever come close because none has that same natural ease, a quality some of the best actors can merely envy, never reproduce. What a snob you are.
@robertm70713 жыл бұрын
Cary Grant was something very seldom seen today - a true English gentleman. Being English, I was privileged to know quite a number, as at that time there were quite a few of them, but that age has passed. Another gentleman was David Niven who, when he died, the biggest wreath at his funeral was from the porters of London’s Heathrow Airport, the card read - “To the finest gentleman who ever walked through these halls. He made a porter feel like a king” Who today would be granted such an honour?

Funny how you are so quick to call "lack of respect" for speeches you invented all by yourself. Neither of them was acting. But Olivier was. Some people even consider his speech a comedy routine. I'm not one of them, but it was pompous and incoherent. He was too old to make much sense that night, but remains one of the greatest of actors.

Oh my 😮 Such a Shakespearian speech. I enjoyed Sir Lawrence many times in cinema. He seems to over emote sometimes though. 😂 Love you, Larry. 😘

Just as dazzling today as it was then. Olivier understood, loved and used the English language better than anyone. For a moment there I wasn't even sure it was English I was hearing. Oh sure, I had heard the individual words before but never formulated in that way. He speaks so well in this speech it is almost as if he has taken it to such inspired heights that I thought I saw him levitate near the end.

Sir Laurence Olivier was really one of the greatest british actors of all time. I had admired Olivier since I saw him first time in the movies Spartacus and Marathon Man. Hamlet was also great. R.I.P.

I love watching the reaction of Jon Voight. He was very emotional about Olivier's speech later accepting his own Oscar

I would love to have seen the film clips that accompanied sir Laurence's tribute. Considering his extensive stage work in England and Broadway, Olivier made memorable films, including Wyler's Wuthering Heights, Hitchcock's Rebecca, his Shakespearian trilogy: Henry V, Hamlet, and Richard III; Spartacus; Mankiewicz' Sleuth; Schlesinger's Marathon Man; and great television productions of King Lear, and Long Day's Journey Into Night. Grant was the perfect choice to give Olivier his well-deserved award.

Lawrence Olivier apresentado por Cary Grant. A definição de LUXO. ⭐️

Dan Williams well commented. I remember Watching this at home with my family all those years ago. My father commented at the time, after watching Voight reaction, that even the best of celebrated performers have their own heroes and that the evidence in the film proved that Jon Voight seemed to be blown away by the sincerely felt and immensely well spoken regards to US, the academy and his fellow 'students' really did affect the younger, but already 'Oscarised' Voight. it is no shame to show one's respect in the way Jon Voight has done. i.myself was mesmerised by the ease with which Lawrence expressed bis emotions from his heart in the most gentlest and sincerest of ways. I salute you Larry as a fellow Britons and as a fan of your art.

I've had an Olivier weekend - watching his Hamlet; Richard III; The Entertainer; Othello (still bloody amazing); Marathon Man & Boys From Brazil. What an amazing actor he was. And I remembered watching his acceptance of an honorary Oscar, and so I share this with all of you!!!

So Olivier, the sex addict, and Cary Grant, the LSD popping serial betrothed, are not even a little bit mental then? You look hard enough at anyone you may find a few things you don't like.
