Archie (Cary Grant biopic series)

Looked for threads but found none, so posted this.

Finished this one last night. To fans of TCM or geezers of a certain age like myself, Archie was a satisfying and entertaining watch. Jason Isaacs nailed Grant’s accent and overall vibe but the actress who played Dyan Cannon and a dead ringer for DC held her own. Found out some amazing details of Archie’s dad childhood and parents, who did much to traumatize him. Great attention to prriod detail throughout. “Jolly well done,” as the man himself might have quipped.

I watched the first couple because the wife is a huge CG fan.   Frankly, after they passed the childhood scenes I found the stuff about Dyan Cannon less interesting so I stopped watching.   I really enjoyed the short scenes with him doing  impromptu monologues with an audience and found myself wanting more of that and less of him being a real person.  But they were just used as a plot device.
