I was watching His Girl Friday on TCM last night. Andy came in about halfway through, asking why I was watching a black and white movie and wanted to know what was going on.

I was explaining who was in it, like Cary Grant, though at the moment he wasn't on the screen. When he came onscreen, I explained that some people call George Clooney a modern-day Cary Grant and Andy said that he was just thinking that Cary Grant was like an old-school George Clooney. Then he asked, "Is he the guy from the GIF?" I had no idea what he was talking about, so he pulled up this:



Oh, yes, that's him. Then Andy noticed that he was wearing the same suit, and that the GIF was from the movie we were watching! He got very excited when Cary Grant said, "Get out!" He couldn't believe he got to see the GIF actually happen. :)

Then I told him that Cary Grant is in one of my favourite old movies, Arsenic and Old Lace. "Is he Arsenic or Old Lace?" Neither. I explained that it was about old ladies who wore lace and killed people with arsenic. Oh, Andy said, I thought it was about spies and those were their codenames.
