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

It's been a few years, but I haven't forgotten! Started in 2008 and last updated in 2011, the Cary Grant Project continues. Today I watched "The Toast Of New York", the story of Jim Fisk. Cary Grant played his friend and business partner, Nick Boyd; at least, that was the character's name in the movie. It was pretty much Edward Arnold's movie, but Cary Grant was the amiable sidekick, and the voice of reason when it came time for the big "cornering the gold market" climax. This was more of the rougher early Cary Grant, before he hit his 1940s stride, but still enjoyable.
