Toto, if I spend the afternoon with Cary as John Robie, will Grace Kelly be along for the ride, too? That could sway my vote!
ReplyDeleteTerrific post, toto! And some tough choices, as Cary Grant was a versatile actor and portrayed charming characters. I would like to share a platonic afternoon with John Robie. He's just so cool, and the fact that he's a thief wouldn't bother me one bit, since I've got absolutely nothing worth stealing. And if it was an afternoon around Christmas, well, I'm sure the gifts would be amazing. Thanks, toto! :)
ReplyDeleteToto...I'll take any one of them or Dev in Notorious or Roger Thornhill in NbyNW (and it can be afternoon, morning or evening)...well, you get the picture. Great poll, great choices...
ReplyDeleteToto, John would be fun and like Rick if he brings Grace along well...... If that's not possible then I'll go with Dudley he knows how to have good clean fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's gotta be Mortimer Brewster in Arsenic and Old Lace. I LOVED that character. You would certainly never be bored! Love this poll!
ReplyDeleteAny of these choices would be a great afternoon spent! Handsome, suave, urbane, funny....I could only aspire to be like the great Cary.
ReplyDeleteI truly had fun reading all of your comments!Rick and Paul, I agree that it would be an added bonus to have Frances (aka Grace) join in. And Sark, I hadn't thought of the possible gifts John might procure. That made me smile! Eve, my only objection to Roger would be if he wanted to go to a bus stop in a remote area surrounded by fields. I don't know if I could run fast enough to avoid the crop dusting planes. But, aside from that, your point is very well taken. :) Becky, you are spot-on accurate about Mortimer and there never being a dull moment! Paul, Dudley would be such an intriguing companion. And I would love for him to decorate my Christmas tree! Rupert, ain't it the truth? Cary remains one of my favorite performers.
ReplyDeleteToto, Cary Grant, is one of my favorite actors..
ReplyDeleteJohn Robie, from To Catch a Thief is also one of my favorite characters. awesome blog..
Dawn, I too love Cary. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSorry, it would have to be C.K. Dexter Haven in The Philadelphia Story! Also, I saw Cary in his one man show, An Evening with Cary Grant, and he said that he thought Arsenic and Old Lace was one of his worst movies. But, even so, it is still better than most of the stuff out there today.
