    Sad, Very Sad

    On screen he seemed like the perfect man and had a perfect life. Nothing could be further from the truth. He had a terrible childhood. He made a successful career but he understandably had his demons. He was a good man whose childhood affected him his whole life. Only when he became a father did he really find peace and happiness. He didn't feel like he had to make the most money or need any public adoration. He was comfortable being a father even though it came very late in life for him. I always liked him as an actor whether it was a romantic comedy or a dramatic thriller but I really came to respect him as a person.

    Narcissistic Manipulation Pie

    The characterisations here are definitively subpar. No one looks or sounds like the people they portray, except for Laura Aikman, who looks quite a bit like and acts very much like her part. Therein lies the rub. Far too much effort to get that right that everything else fell by the wayside. The title is a misnomer, to say the least. It's not about Archie, it's not about Cary. It's about Dyan. It should have been called "Dyan, Me, Me, Me and the 6 years I spent with that guy to whom I've served up a narcissistic manipulation pie with a light sprinkle of powdered truth".

    He said it best, everything is a confrontation to her. And every confrontation in this lifetime movie of the week is a character assassination for every acquaintance she makes. Everything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault. He does drugs, he sold the dog, he's overbearing and controlling, his mother is a beach, his biz partner is a time stealer. Despite all her obvious flaws, the production makes everyone else out to be the bad guy and poor misunderstood her. Every scene is manicured and curated to paint everyone else in a bad light, and even when you think that maybe there's a bit of balance here, it quickly turns to self-victimizing pandering, expecting the audience to be too stupid to see it.

    An excellent study into the true character of a bitter ex-lover, but very little in the way of the person for whom we were duped into thinking it was about. It might think it's subtle, but it's not.

    Good show but sloppy errors.

    Decent and moving show, generally very well acted, but marred by a number of surprisingly sloppy factual errors that don't gel with the assertions made at the start that it was a well researched drama - in particular Grant gave up his career as soon as Jennifer was born, the brother who died did so before Archie was born. Easy to fact check these and other basic timeline issues that call into question veracity of the piece otherwise.

    Shame because the acting was good by Isaac's, Aikman and Waters, and Isaac's captured Grant's voice exceptionally, although the make up of older Grant seemed less effective.

    Generally moving and it revealed the man's achievements and complexities.

    Entertaining with a few reservations

    My Review- Archie Streaming on BritBox My Rating 7/10

    Cary Grant the debonair elegant movie star that was was such a unique and sophisticated invention of the Hollywood star system of the 1930's 1940's would be nearly impossible for any actor to portray today successfully.

    Jason Isaacs comes very close especially with impersonating the distinctive mid Atlantic cultured voice of Cary Grant but at times I felt I was watching an impersonation instead of an impression.

    I've read and watched many fine documentaries on Cary Grant and his life pre Hollywood and post Hollywood and really learnt nothing new about the man himself in this entertaining 4 part series .

    A series based on Dyan Cannon's 2011 memoir Dear Cary . Dyan Cannon was married to Cary Grant for less than 3 years from 1965 to 1968 they had a daughter Jennifer who is along with her mother is a Producer of this series .

    The screenplay written jointly by Jeff Pope and Dyan Cannon has a documentary interview style that begins with one of Cary Grants audience participation question and answer tours of the mid 1980's that were titled "A Conversation with Cary Grant." As he thinks back over his life story Jason Isaacs as Cary Grant relates his rags to riches story beginning in Bristol as a young child with a critically ill brother a mostly absent and ineffectual father and a stressed and depressed mother.

    However as pointed out by my viewing partner the interior of their home was not very convincing as a house of poverty, quite comfortable as a matter of fact.

    I was aware of all this background from watching the wonderful 2017 documentary told in Cary Grant's own words Becoming Cary Grant .

    Another two very informative documentaries one about the Academy Award winning Australian costume designer Orry Kelly titled Women He's Undressed made by Gillian Armstrong in 2015 and another about Scotty Bowers titled Scotty and the Secret History of Hollywood more than implied that Cary Grant also had male lovers.

    No one will ever know the truth about Cary Grant's sexuality and it's not really that important except to say that in this series the only time that it's even implied is when Dyan Cannon played by Laura Aikman asks him outright if he was gay he gives a rather ambiguous answer "I have loved many people and married a few times" Archy Leach the acrobat clown escaped his poor child and traumatic childhood to become Cary Grant the debonair and sharp witted and amusing Hollywood gentleman who had the hilarious line which still breaks me up from the classic 1938 comedy Bringing Up Baby where he has to put on Katherine Hepburn's bathrobe. When asked "Why are you wearing these?", he replies: Because I just went gay, all of a sudden which is apparently the first time the gay word was used in a movie in that context.

    Cary Grant certainly was no stranger to Pink Hollywood culture he also played a gay man although it was never mentioned in the biographical fantasy movie Night and Day about composer Cole Porter in 1946 .

    His close association with colleagues in the Hollywood community of that golden era certainly would have exposed him to Gay culture . His friends included Katharine Hepburn with who he made 4 films with George Cukor who desperately wanted him to play Norman Maine in the 1954 movie A Star is Born and was furious when he refused and the great costume designer Orry Kelly who , wrote that he had an on-again, off-again relationship with Cary Grant until the 1930s.

    Actor Randolph Scott and Cary Grant lived together for a couple of years and were regarded as a couple . Toward the end of their lives, Scott and Grant were often seen together, on one occasion holding hands late at night in the Polo Lounge, alone except for the waiters.

    So if Cary Grant wasn't gay or bisexual he certainly embraced that culture and I felt it a pity it wasn't mentioned much at all in this series which I suppose is understandable if told from his ex wife Dyan Cannon's perspective.

    I was entertained by this 4 part series Archie but can't help thinking that it concentrated more on Dyan Cannon's relatively brief encounter with the phenomenon that was Cary Grant .

    For me missing out on an opportunity to portray accurately the magic makeover and alchemy that created the charm and personality of Cary Grant .

    He may never have won an Oscar a BAFTA or a Golden Globe although in 1942 he did win a Golden Apple Award as Most Cooperative Actor but he remains and always will one of Hollywood's great iconic movie stars.

    Cary Grant like Clark Gable ,Spencer Tracy , Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford Garbo and Dietrich all were true originals and while imitations are interesting they just can't capture the true essence of the original.

    A special mention about the wonderful performance of Harriet Walter in this series who plays Elsie Leach the mother that Cary Grant didn't know was still alive till towards the end of her life when his father confessed she was still alive. His father had her committed to an asylum when he was a young boy telling him she had died .

    Not an in-depth biopic but a good snapshot of an interesting person

    I'm old enough to remember Cary Grant starring in numerous hit movies. I was vaguely aware that he came from an impoverished English childhood and was one of those movie stars who seemed to have a different spouse or girlfriend every time you read about them. So I binge-watched this limited series and was glad I did. Other reviewers have been disappointed that only one spouse, Dyan Cannon, was featured. However, to incorporate all the other failed relationships would have required multiple seasons and been a grueling experience! Since the poor guy really did have an absolutely horrendous childhood, it was no surprise that he had relationship problems in adulthood. In my opinion, his shrink should have spent less time with LSD therapy and devoted more energy to exploring the types of behavior and communication skills that lead to long-term, in-depth relationships. Archie had no decent role models from whom to learn! I thought all the actors did a good job of portraying the real people they represented. When I watch a biopic, I am not looking for a typical comedian's imitation of a celebrity, re-creating all of their features, body movements, exact voice, quirks, etc. Obviously a tall, thin actor would not look right playing a well-known person who was short and fat, or vice versa. However, past casting the basic "type", I appreciate a performance that captures the person's personality and essence, regardless of whether or not the actor is a physical dead-ringer.

      Highlights Grant's third marriage to Dyan Cannon and their daughter Jennifer, both of whom are Executive Producers of the series.
    • Patzer
      Cary Grant is shown trying to get his girlfriend, Dyan Cannon, the female lead in "North By Northwest" in 1961. He had already made the film long since - it was filmed in 1958 and in cinemas by May of 1959. Furthermore, the film's legendary scene of Grant being pursued by a monoplane through a cornfield is shown being filmed on a studio set rather than on location, and Alfred Hitchcock, the director, is shown casually dressed in shirtsleeves and a cardigan, whereas the real Hitchcock was famous for always being formally dressed in suit and tie on film sets, and expected his crew to do likewise.
