Cary Grant - His Life And His Movies

It was in the movie "Silvia Scarlett" that Cary Grant proved his mettle and was now looked at as an actor to look forward to and was labeled as the next great Hollywood movie star. In 1937, after his contract with Paramount Pictures came to an end, Cary Grant decided not to join any of Hollywood's big studio's, and work as an independent by choosing his own scripts to work for. This move would result in Cary Grant giving movie goers some of Hollywood's finest, funniest and most memorable movies ever made. Some of Cary Grant's most famous comedies were co-starred with none other than actress Katharine Hepburn. These great movies include "Holiday" and "Bringing up Baby", both released in the year 1938. Other great Carry Grant movies filmed during his independent years are: "My Favorite Wife" and "The Awful Truth" in the year 1940 with Iren Dunne; "Gunga Din in 1939 with Victor McLagen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.; "His Girl Friday" in 1940 with Rosalind Russell and my personal favorite "The Philadelphia Story" in 1940 with the wonderful cast of Jimmy Stewart and Katharine Hepbum.
