Well, there's a reason I said "a" favorite or one you happen to like - as opposed to "the" favorite or "favorite" - because I can't pick one. And they change with my moods.
You managed to pick the only Cary Grant film that has never worked for me or my least favorite...LOL!
All the others I love.
Anyhow agreed, Grant was a master.
Cage - is a mixed bag. When he's good, he's very good, when he's bad - he's unwatchable. (Oh, a side note? I have a six degrees of separation thing going on with Nick Cage. My parents best friends from Chicago, their son - was best friends with Nick Cage. But back when he was Nick Coppola. He used to sneak with Nick into Nick's grandfather's house to watch movies in his huge movie theater. They were in acting school together. I saw the film Purple Rain with this guy, and he was telling me all these stories about his pals, John Cusack, Nick Coppola, before I knew who they were - because this was way back in 1982 or thereabouts. WAY before Cusak's film career took off - and Cusack and Cage had tiny cameos in films like Sixteen Candles.)
Steve B - is a bit like Cage, he's either really good, or annoying.
Cary Grant on the other hand was never annoying or bad - even in the film Bringing Up Baby, he managed to be okay. The material was...eh, but Grant pulled it off. Hepburn struggled more. But Grant saved it. Even more extraordinary is Grant managed to create Cary Grant. It wasn't who he was at all. His persona was an act in of itself. He created a role and played it constantly.
