do you have a favorite Cary Grant film?

My favorite Cary Grant film has got to be

the Philadelphia Story.

I could watch it over and over.

And what a great pairing with

Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart.

He's so quirky fun in his early years,

and then of course,

he gets so sophisticated in his later years.

Meanwhile, enjoy the eye candy...
