Colonialism being at something of a discount nowadays, Grant is obliged to ply his undeniable charms in cross-cultural comedies like Mickey Blue Eyes. In it, he plays a Manhattan art auctioneer named Michael Felgate, in love with a schoolteacher (Jeanne Tripplehorn) who reciprocates his affections but refuses his engagement ring...
America is rocked by social violence, and some people think Hollywood is to blame. They point to the sex and smutty talk, drug use and gun love onscreen. The moguls hide behind a rickety rating system that stokes more fury than it slakes. Church groups attack it as a sham; critics on the left complain that it eviscerates mature films. "The censors have spent all their time protecting children against adult movies," says The Nation. "They might better protect adults against childish movies...
...deceptions aren't equal. On the scale of untruths, from I-love-your-mother's-cooking to I-would-never-hurt-Nicole, George Bush's cuteness about coke ranks pretty low.

...died in 1996 at 72, recalls his career with eloquence, irony and a gentle wonder. To hear him utter, with a child's reverence, the names Gary Cooper and Clark Gable is to hear a cordial peal of thunder from one Olympic peak to another. "I like people; I love life," he says. "Perhaps that is why life has loved me in return." At three hours-plus, this is the Shoah of movie-star chats. But it is worth every second if the viewer brings an imaginary glass of Chianti to this enthralling, poignant feast...
