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. β€œJolly well done,” as the man himself might have quipped.

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