Every December I go on a Cary Grant binge. There are a number of reasons for this but mostly because it makes me happy and they are tremendous movies. Doing so at the onset of the holiday rush helps to frame the season for me: with a dash of élan, a pat on the head and a marvelous grace. It’s always so difficult selecting which twelve movies make the cut, and only allowing myself a few repeats from last year.
The list for 2014 is as follows:
December 1. The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer
December 2. The Grass is Greener
December 3. Notorious
December 4. An Affair to Remember
December 5. Night and Day
December 6. Philadelphia Story
December 7. North by Northwest
December 8. Gunga Din
December 9. Room for One More [this will be brand new to me.]
December 10. Indiscreet
December 11. Bishop’s Wife
December 12. Penny Serenade
Feel free to swaddle yourself in a smoking jacket, dive into a cocktail and join me. You can follow along on my twitter feed at: https://twitter.com/etagelarsen or #12dCG. I generally live blog during the screenings at about 8pm EST.
Happy Holidays, darlings.
