When I was watching Rope the little talk about leading men actors between the two ladies was quite interesting especially when they mentioned Cary Grant . Now the "something" movie with Ingrid Bergman is Notorious, Im sure of that, but before that the lady mentions "Something of a something" but then recalls that its another movie. I wonder if anyone knows what movie theyre referencing, that would be greatly appreciated!
Millions have come to the U.S. to pursue the American dream and have endured much to have a chance to better their lot in life. Archibald Alexander Leach came from Bristol, England in 1920 and became a part of history in the Golden age of Hollywood. He epitomized the handsome, suave sophisticated leading man for decades.

I was reluctant to tell his story as a person, but to honor him his story must be told. It seems to me at times we think those who are public do not deserve privacy. Since he has passed on, I will tell you parts of what I have read and learned from watching his movies. I have watched at least 25 of them from Sinners in the Sun to Walk, Don't Run. For the blog I have utlized his own account and that of a biographer Scott Eyman along with Carygrant.net that includes his story in his words.
