In March 1970 a career achievement Oscar was given to a beloved, well-known actor. At the end of his speech the 66 year-old recipient expressed great excitement at "the astonishing young talents that are coming up in our midst...I think there's an even more glorious era right around the corner." Cary Grant had that exactly right, didn't he?

says ...I think Cary Grant was reading words off a page. Remembering Pauline Kael's "The Man From Dream City" essay in THE NEW YORKER, Grant was quoted bitching about changes in 50s film culture:
"....the blue jeans, the dope addicts, the Method."
