The summertime is the right time to catch up with old movies. At least I think so. I’ve been in a bit of a Pedro Almodóvar phase at the moment. Last night’s screening of Live Flesh in our living room was more evidence, if that was even necessary, of the Spanish director’s greatness.

I am, however, hoping to venture towards other things, like, old Hollywood for a while. So this mini-Cary Grant film festival at BAM fits the bill.

Over the next few days there are some great Cary Grant movies at BAMCinematek (check their website for schedule information) including Once Upon a Honeymoon with Ginger Rogers, Destination Tokyo, I Was a Male War Bride with Ann Sheriden, Crisis (described as a ” taut political thriller features Grant in rare, strictly dramatic form as a famous brain surgeon who becomes a political pawn when forced to operate on a tyrannical dictator in a politically volatile Latin American country.”), and Grant’s swan song: Walk Don’t Run.
