SUMMER UNDER THE STARS: CARY GRANT
TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET
We’re only halfway through TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars” August salute, but I’m already embarrassed to admit how much time I’ve spent multi-tasking while these 24-hour cinematic movie-star binges keep me company. And today, the star in question is so luminous, I know in advance I’ll be spending many more hours with TCM. That’s because the star is Cary Grant, and the films shown today include 1938’s Bringing Up Baby (with Katharine Hepburn) at 10 a.m. ET, 1940’s His Girl Friday (with Rosalind Russell) at 11:45 a.m. ET, and two of my absolute favorite films, 1944’s Arsenic and Old Lace (3:45 p.m. ET) and 1963’s Charade (10 p.m. ET), which co-stars an equally entertaining Audrey Hepburn. Watch as many as you like, and more, but don’t miss Charade (pictured), a fabulous mystery story, and love story, and comic and thriller, all rolled into one, with Paris as the luminous background. I know I won’t miss it.
