Season 1 Review:
The man gets his due in Becoming Cary Grant, a moody jewel of a film that draws on Grant’s unpublished autobiography for much of its narration (delivered by actor Jonathan Pryce) and on a wealth of home-movie footage that provides a Grant’s-eye view of a bygone world.

Season 1 Review:
Kidel makes good use of clips from several Grant films at times, but at other times, Kidel goes terribly off the rails. ... The documentary adds to the mountain of information about Grant, and brings us somewhat closer to understanding who he really was. But it’s likely aspects of both Archie Leach and Cary Grant will remain an enigma forever.
