Cary Grant was one of classic Hollywood's definitive leading men. He is known for his transatlantic accent, debonair demeanour, light-hearted approach to acting and sense of comic timing. During his career he was nominated for 5 golden Globes and 3 Academy Awards one of which was an Honourary Award for his unique mastery of the art of screen acting with the respect and affection of his colleagues. HOLIDAY: Johnny Case (Cary Grant), a free-thinking financier, has finally found the girl of his dreams--Julia Seton (Doris Nolan), the spoiled daughter of a socially prominent millionaire--and she's agreed to marry him! But when Johnny plans a holiday for the two to enjoy life while they are still young, his fiancee has other plans--she wants Johnny to work in her father's bank! As he tries to decide whether to follow his head or his heart, Johnny can rely on at least one Seton in his corner. She's Linda Seton (Katherine Hepburn), the down-to-earth younger sister of his soon-to-be-wife, and she likes Johnny just the way he is. ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS: Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) is a travelling entertainer who gets more than she bargained for during a stopover in a South American port town. There she meets a handsome and aloof daredevil pilot, Geoff Carter (Cary Grant), who runs an airmail company, staring down death while servicing towns in treacherous mountain terrain. Both attracted to and repelled by his romantic sense of danger, she decides to stay on, despite his protestations. SHE DONE HIM WRONG: Burlesque barroom singer Lady Lou (Mae West) knows everyone in town, especially the men. Unfortunately, her convict ex-boyfriend Chick Clark (Owen Moore) is the jealous type and vows violence against her if she behaves unfaithfully while he's in prison. To make matters worse, Lou's boss, Gus Jordan (Noah Beery Sr), secretly runs a prostitution and counterfeiting ring, and the director of the city mission next door is actually a federal agent (Cary Grant). What's a girl to do? I'M NO ANGEL: Sharp, seductive and emotionally guarded Tira (Mae West) is a lauded and much-adored circus performer. Her newest suitor, a married New York City socialite named Kirk Lawrence (Kent Taylor), showers her with gifts. Kirk's cousin, Jack Clayton (Cary Grant), goes to Tira to try and convince her to end the affair. The two fall for one another, but when love and happiness risk taking Tira from the stage, her boss plots to break off the engagement and shackle her to the circus forever.

After meeting the charming and beautiful Cinzia Zaccardi (Sophia Loren) at a concert, he hires her as a live-in nanny.

She does, however, have an interest in Tom. INDISCREET: Famous theatre actress Anna Kalman (Ingrid Bergman) has resigned herself to her single life, believing that she has missed her chance at meeting a husband. Weary of socializing in Europe, she returns to her London flat, where her sister Margaret (Phyllis Calvert) and diplomat brother-in-law Alfred (Cecil Parker) invite her to a banquet.

Seeking to make sail before an oncoming invasion, Sherman enlists the help of newly transferred Lieutenant Nick Holden (Tony Curtis) to use his talents as a con artist to procure the needed supplies. Once they're underway, Sherman evacuates a group of beautiful nurses, but can't find anyone who will take them off his hands. THE GRASS IS GREENER: In order to maintain their crumbling stately home, Earl Vincent Rhyall and his wife Lady Hilary reluctantly open it to coach parties of American tourists, one of whom, Charles Delacro, falls for the lady of the manor.
