Becoming Cary Grant (2016)

Bio-doc on Bristol, England native Archibald Leach, better known as the actor Cary Grant. Film makes use of passages from an unfinished autobiography that actor started, and also deals with the LSD enhanced therapy sessions he undertook in the 1960's, and which he swore changed his life for the better. The film is consequently done in a somewhat trippy editing style. You hear a rather unusual story about Grants mother that I had never heard before, and that by itself makes this well-done documentary worth seeing. ***
