BOTF: Becoming Cary Grant
Part of the Documentaries Strand
This enthralling documentary is a must for fans of classic Hollywood and of Cary Grant in particular. Charting his life from Bristol where young Archibald Leach delved into the world of showbiz before heading across the pond to become one of the greatest movie stars. As well as plenty of archive footage, interviews and rare home movie material, this insightful film also examines how Grant experimented with LSD in an attempt to try and come to terms with his life and how the world saw him.
