Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

Cary Grant Project

Now that I'm getting the netflix, I can see some of the more obscure titles I've been waiting to stumble across for this project.  "I'm No Angel", kind of like the other movie Cary Grant was in with Mae West, is really a Mae West movie and not a Cary Grant movie.  He's pretty much missing from the first hour.  I don't really get the popularity or attraction of Mae West, so given that it's her movie (she wrote it, too), it's no surprise I've buried it down near the end.  Cary Grant is a rich guy who falls for her lower-class (working class?) circus performer.  This is the movie where she tells her maid to peel her a grape.


And now we've hit 40 Cary Grant movies:
