Customer Reviews

Public Domain Movies
It would have been nice if Amazon had given you the titles of these three movies: Amazing Adventure, His Girl Friday, Penny Serenade. All Public Domain~ that why the cheap price.

Penny Serenade costars Irene Dunne. It's focus is the trials and joys of a young couple that adopts a child. Cary Grant was nominated for an Oscar for this.

His Girl Friday- Many people enjoy this story of a fast talking newspaper man that tries to prevent his ex from marrying another man. Has been remade many times.

Amazing Adventure. This is one of Cary's early movies. It's rather bland.

Worst Cary Grant Collection Available (But still Decent)
I am a Cary Grant Fanatic and love all his movies and own all the major box sets, but this one has the worst film quality of all. The three titles in this collection are The Amazing Adventure, Charade, and His Girl Friday. I thought I would mention this because the titles are not listed on this site. Amazing Adventure, even though it has been digitally remastered looks as if you bought it on VHS. Charade is in better condition, but was also released 30 years after Amazing Adventure. His Girl Friday looks okay, but it is found in better quality in the Cary Grant Box Set available on this site. There is also a photo gallery available as a special feature that is three minutes in length
All in all, the price is right and Cary Grant fans will still enjoy it, but I would advise looking at a different, higher priced collection, if you want the best quality.

I'm holding it in my hand right now
Let me clear up the question of "What is on this DVD?" I have it right here in my hand, having just watched it, and it has the following movies on it:

"Amazing Adventure" - The always charming and delightful Cary Grant and Mary Brian star.

"His Girl Friday" - Cary and Rosalind Russell star in this film that you need to pay close attention to while watching or you'll miss what they are talking about (speedy, witty banter abounds).

"Charade" - Easily one of Cary Grants very best films (in my humble opinion). The late Audrey Hepburn co-stars.

You also get a gallery of Cary Grants movie posters, accompanied by what I think is music from each film. For me this served as inspiration to go find even more Cary Grant movies! Yay!

The best thing about this collection, even though it's only three films, is it takes you from the very, very early Cary Grant to mid-career (dashing) and finally to his later works (still dashing, just with a bit of gray in his hair). Also, it takes me back to laying on my gramma's faded floral sofa, with the smell of fresh coffee and baked goodies in the air, while we all watched these movies on a Sunday afternoon.

Sorry, Classic Debut, but Penny Serenade is not on this collection. Paul M. Grumelli is correct.
