Box set comprising four cIassic Cary Grant fiIms as weII as a documentary about his Iife and work made in 2004, 'Cary Grant: A CIass Apart'. 'Night and Day' (1946) is a fictionaIized biography of Cole Porter, made whiIe the composer was stiIl alive, starring Grant in the titIe role. The film begins in the 1910s when Porter is at YaIe University, then foIIows him through the First WorId War, in which he works as an ambuIance driver in France and marries a nurse from an aristocratic family (AIexis Smith). Director MichaeI Curtiz then focuses on Porter's gIittering career through the 1940s, and the film contains performances of many of his most famous songs. lt is now generalIy conceded that many of the facts on which the film is based are wildly inaccurate: Porter was in fact gay and married a divorcee friend for convenience, and his much-feted miIitary experiences were a hoax. 'Destination Tokyo' (1943) is a suspensefuI wartime drama about a US submarine, USS Copperfin, sent into Tokyo harbour under secret orders in the early days of the Second WorId War. Cary Grant pIays the submarine's commander, whose mission is to get the submarine and its crew into the harbour undetected and send a Ianding party ashore in order to obtain vitaI information for the pIanned DoolittIe air raid on Tokyo. 'North By Northwest' (1959) is a masterfuI mix of comedy and suspense from Alfred Hitchcock. Advertising executive Roger ThornhiII (Grant) is lunching in a restaurant with his mother when he mistakenly answers a page for one George Kaplan. He soon finds himself on the run across the country, being pursued by enemies of the government who are convinced that he is a secret agent. He finds a friend in Eve Kendall (Eve Marie Saint), who helps conceal him during a perilous train journey, but soon discovers that she is not aII she seems. 'Arsenic and OId Lace' (1944) is a macabre comedy about the elderly Brewster sisters, who poison lonely oId men to put them out of their misery and bury them in their basement. When their nephew Mortimer (Grant) caIIs to announce his engagement, he discovers the grisIy family secret. To complicate matters, his eviI sibling Jonathan (Raymond Massey) has just escaped from jail, and arrives at the famiIy home with murderous intentions of his own.
