I have loved Cary Grant in all of his roles and have a sweet spot for the man, I admit. That is why I actually read his biography by Marc Eliot a couple of years ago. I expected to see it on screen.
However, what I got was Dyan Cannon's version of events where we see mostly Dyan. There is no mention of his leading ladies in movies, his marriages before Dyan waltzed in, it is so very superficial and has nothing to do with the man we all love.
Eliot's biography, on the other hand, clearly paints his bisexual tendencies and friendships (real friendships) he had with all of his leading ladies, especially Grace Kelly. This is not even mentioned here, or just in passing.
After seeing that the series was based on Dyan Cannon's book, it's no wonder that it's all about her. There are so many historical inaccuracies here that it is laughable, to say the least. And it is also sad, because we may never get a proper movie about this one in a million actor and a human being.
Jason Isaacs...really, of all the people? He doesn't even resemble Cary! I am disappointed, to say the least, but not surprised...
