Rachel Recommends: Cary Grant Edition
Posted on May 11, 2021

I had a dream recently that I needed a bottle of champagne for an impromptu celebration (for my glamorous REM social life). I called my friend Cary Grant, who sent a bottle over immediately. I was even able to hear the cadence of his famous accent in my subconscious state. This dream was likely the result of having finished a recent biography of Hollywood’s most debonair actor, and I’d like to think it was a conduit to sleep sophistication.
If you or someone you know would like to channel Mr. Grant during the night, I recommend a binge. The following biographies and films consumed in succession might just lead to caviar dreams.
Cary Grant: A Brilliant Disguise
Cary Grant: A Biography
Dear Cary: My Life with Cary Grant
His Girl Friday
The Bishop’s Wife
Bringing Up Baby
Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Talk of the Town
The Philadelphia Story
Suspicion
Charade
