Fashion and style writer, Richard Torregrossa makes a powerful case for why Cary Grant matters today more than ever. His absorbing narrative will draw on original interviews with Tom Wolfe, Giorgio Armani, Peter Bogdanovich, Grant's Savile Row tailor, and his surviving family members, among many others.
