A whopping 21-disc set of the Bristol-boy-made-good’s films, including some of his finest: Bringing Up Baby remains the best ever comedy about an out-of-place big cat, with Grant and Katherine Hepburn striking sparks off each other; Sylvia Scarlett is a real oddity, with Grant as a conman and a cross-dressing Hepburn enjoying what might be the screen’s first girl-girl kiss; Grant plays second fiddle to Dietrich in Blonde Venus, which boasts the classic gorilla suit striptease; and Suspicion marks the star’s brilliant debut for Hitchcock. There’s plenty more to enjoy, and Grant is always riveting, but the 50s and 60s choices here are throwaway stuff.
