I'm surprised at you, Baron!

He's talking about Cary Grant.

A horsethief from Kentucky if I remember correctly..

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Not a movie man, I. Though i do enjoy a good movie.

How does this Leach fella relate to Cary Grant? I'm assuming that Cary Grant was the stage name of the Leach chap.

That was an extraordinary piece of nincompoopery, My dear Baron. :cheers1:

And I mean that in the best, 'have a Guinness and sit down' sort of way, of course.

FWIW, Archie Leach was also John Cleese's character in "A Fish Called Wanda", a role that would have been excellent for Cary Grant.

Happy Birthday to both Jessica and Archie!

 

[The Wolf]

Happy Birthday to the two greats

Cary also refers to Archie in His Girl Friday. The same movie in which he describes Ralph Bellamy's character as looking like that actor: Ralph Bellamy.

Man, I would just love to have seen old Archie tripping his brains out on acid spanking Dyan Cannon over his lap, sevants assembled to watch.I suppose it's every man's dream, really. A suave gent.

As bizzare as it seems, actually happened. Cannon spilled beans galore during and after her divorce from Grant. Riveting stuff.
