For the first time one of Hollywood's greatest stars tells his own story, in his own words. From a childhood of poverty to global fame, Cary Grant, the ultimate self-made star, explores his own screen image and what it took to create it.
Acting
Grant's archive footage reveals cracks in the polished facade.
Writing
Uses his unpublished autobiography—raw, unguarded, devastating.
Direction
Kidel lets silence do the heavy lifting.
Director
Mark Kidel
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Grant's unpublished autobiography was discovered in a storage unit decades after his death, which Kidel uses as the film's spine.
The documentary reframes his comedy partnerships with Hitchcock as elaborate exercises in control—Grant playing men who, like him, couldn't stop managing their own image.
