Straight from England comes our exclusive story giving Grant's frank views on everything from movies to matrimony. The man who is hard to pin down for personal interviews in Hollywood reveals his inner personality here. Above, Cary signs autograph albums for the restaurant staff during his recent visit to London Film Studio, Shepperton, with Sir Alexander Korda watching. the world — a truly international motion picture. Last summer Cary suddenly saw the chance to crystallize this vision. It sprang from some incidental remarks made by Sir Alexander Korda at a New York luncheon. So being Cary Grant, that complex, often cussed, always utterly charming character, he turned future stability down flat and embarked instead upon his private crusade to offer moviegoers something completely different from any film in which he has acted before. With Sir Alexander, Cary has registered a small private company in Britain to make a series of productions at the Shepperton Studios on the banks of the River Thames.just outside London. Cary will be co-executive as well as star, with considerable say about everything from casting to cutting. They have signed up the brilliant young man who is generally considered Britain's finest director, Carol Reed, who made "Odd Man Out" and who has said he will never work with any star whom he does not consider essentially intelligent and dramatically outstanding. Cary says Carol's agreement is the biggest compliment he has ever been paid. (Please turn to page 87) 25
