Cary Grant’s films, in order.
Between 1932 and his last picture, Walk, Don't Run, in 1966, Cary Grant appeared in seventy-two feature films and one short, Singapore Sue. They are listed here by year of release, and alphabetically within each year. Each entry gives the director, the studio, the character Grant plays and the leading billed players, and opens onto the full study.
A short is counted as any picture running under 40 minutes, the threshold used by the Academy, the AFI and the BFI.
