Industry Reviews
"Graham McCann, clearly entranced, is the considerate, gentlemanly biographer [Grant] might have wished for and probably deserves....this is the nearest we shall get to believing that the man was as nice as he seems."
Times Literary Supplement - Philip Falconbridge (11/22/1996)
"At last, a book worthy of Cary Grant, most intriguing of all the movie actors....McCann is very good at seeing the straight-faced comic, the artfully awkward ex-acrobat, and the unique mix of charm and gravity."
Esquire - David Thomson
"McCann's book is the kind of biography one often imagines but rarely gets: it likes the movies; it unpacks Cary grant the star, without being a 'star biog'; it quotes Mel Brooks and Roland Barthes (in that order)."
London Review of Books - Gaby Wood (03/06/1997)
"I praise Mr. McCann for his research but not for the nature of his approach to his subject or for his insights into Grant's character. He is so chummy in his admiration as to be almost cheeky."
New Yorker - Brendan Gill (06/02/1997)
"A delightful appreciation of the archetypal movie star who defined screen sophistication. Neat, well researched, and witty, the book earns respect for the author and a familiar wry smile at its reincarnation of Cary Grant."
Masumoto
"McCann...comes closer to giving Grant the ride he deserves than anyone else to date."
