The original version directed by Leo McCarey, starring Charles Boyer (Michel Marnet) and Irene Dunne (Terry McKay), who starred alongside three Cary Grant films: The Awful Truth (1937), My Favorite Wife (1940) and Penny Serenade (1941).

Join us for this watch-along with an introduction to the Love Affairs to Remember marathon by our festival director Charlotte Crofts and Ross Wilcock.

Sadly we can’t actually stream films due to distribution rights, but we aim to create a sense of togetherness in isolation through sharing our love of Cary Grant. Before the start of the screening you need to source your own copy of the film and cue it up ready to play. After a brief 5-10 minute introduction on CrowdCast we will count down and all press play at the same time. The CrowdCast will end and we'll watch-along together using the #CaryStaysHome hashtag on Twitter and Instagram @carycomeshome.

Part of the Love Affairs to Remember Marathon

We want to make the festival accessible whatever your budget, but for those that can afford it, we'd really appreciate it if you can give generously to keep the festival afloat in these difficult times.

We rely on ticket sales as our main source of income, but Covid-19 has made this impossible this year, creating a huge shortfall in our finances. We're a biennial festival so we’re hoping by 2022 we'll be able to return to live events, but in the meantime we’re determined to celebrate Cary Grant as best we can virtually.
