Further about Cary Grant...
I see Meles meles that the film link from Arte is still available to watch, although the 7 days are long gone. I guess Nielsen the same is happening on the German Arte.
What I wanted to emphasize and I learned it from the film I was mentioning, in fact it seems to be an American film, was the Cary Grant behind the "public" Cary Grant...the troubled human, marked by all kind of phantoms, his youth, his mother, is relationship with the world...
From the wiki I mentioned, but it gives not the full dimension of what I saw in the film...if the film was right? if the film spoke about real events...if you have to believe the critique that I also mentioned...:
"Grant began experimenting with the drug
LSD in the late 1950s,
[299] before it became popular. His wife, Betsy Drake, displayed a keen interest in psychotherapy, and through her Grant developed a considerable knowledge of the field of
psychoanalysis. Radiologist
Mortimer Hartman began treating him with LSD in the late 1950s, with Grant optimistic that the treatment could make him feel better about himself and rid of all of his inner turmoil stemming from his childhood and his failed relationships. He had an estimated 100 sessions over several years.
[300] For a long time, Grant viewed the drug positively, and stated that it was the solution after many years of "searching for his peace of mind", and that for first time in his life he was "truly, deeply and honestly happy".
[300] Cannon claimed during a court hearing, in which she claimed he was an "apostle of LSD", that he was still taking the drug in 1967 as part of a remedy to save their relationship.
[301] Grant later admitted that "taking LSD was an utterly foolish thing to do but I was a self-opinionated boor, hiding all kinds of layers and defences, hypocrisy and vanity. I had to get rid of them and wipe the slate clean".
[302"
It reminds me of our Belgian Hergé, Georges Remy, I once put a nearly one hour interview with him on this board, his difficult relationship with himself...he once had to stop is drawing due in my opinion, in modern terms, a burn out or a nervous breakdown...He went for therapy, to come to himself again, here near Bruges in the monastery of the monks of Zevenkerke...
I feel with both...
Kind regards, Paul.
