About this title

Review:

"* 'Eliot is as good on the movies as he is on the man... I am tempted to say of Cary Grant what Charade's Audrey Hepburn says of Cary Grant: "You know what's wrong with you? Nothing.'" - Christopher Bray, Daily Telegraph * 'A biography of the highest class: we"- written, well-researched but, above all, original and intriguing' - Glasgow Herald * 'He was the best and most important actor in the history of the cinema' - David Thomson"
