The most comprehensive Cary Grant filmography available, including a chapter-long informative biography. From his earliest stage appearances to cameos after he retired, this book lists them, even to include a chronology of the significant events in his life. Stage, film, radio, television, magazines, books, records ... if Cary did it, you'll most likely find it listed.

You'll find info on the casts, dates, studios, directors, crews, plot synopsis, reviews and commentaries on all his films. The commentaries often include information about the making of the film, choice of stars, profitability, working relationships, and events that occurred in Cary's life during the making of the film.

I'd call Buehrer's book my Cary Grant encyclopedia. Probably the book I turn to most often. If you want a comprehensive guide to Cary's work, this is it. You won't find better.

One note: While this book IS the ultimate Cary Grant reference book, it is not a Cary Grant photo book. There are very few photos. If you're looking for a great Cary Grant photo book to drool over, get "Cary Grant: A Life in Pictures" by Jenny Curtis.

The book writes about so many episodos I would like to know.I am reading it everyday using English-Japanese dictionery and quite enjoyable.I really think it was so nice that I got it.
