Cary Grant tribute weekend
@ Redford Theatre
Cary Grant was actually born Archibald Alexander Leach, which is kind of hard to believe because that name is so awful it has to be made up. Quite in the fashion of Old Hollywood, he changed his name to make himself more appealing to directors and moviegoers. Grant, who is widely accepted as one of the greatest leading men of all time, starred in films like
Bringing Up Baby, Only Angels Have Wings, His Girl Friday, The Philidelphia Story, North by Northwest, and
An Affair to Remember. Some of his greatest works (along with his greatest co-stars, Audrey Hepburn and Ingrid Bergman included) will be shown this weekend at the historic Redford Theatre.
Arsenic and Old Lace starts at 8 p.m. on Friday night,
Charade starts at 2 p.m. on Saturday,
Notorious starts at 8 p.m. on Saturday;
17360 Lahser Rd., Detroit; 313-537-2560;
