He may have never played the role, but Cary Grant was undoubtedly the inspiration for James Bond - writer Ian Fleming stated as much when he created his hero. No doubt Cary Grant would have made an exceptional James Bond, for he brought to life every character he played, earning him the admiration of millions of cinema goers and countless directors, the latter no mean feat. The three films in this collection feature Penny Serenade, which earned Cary an Oscar nomination, His Girl Friday, with its rapid-fire witty dialogue and The Amazing Adventure where his character has to generate his own income for a year.
