Just pipped at the post, **Ilsa**. **Atticus** , ‘Arthur’ has that Edwardian ring to it! With the 12-15 hour time difference between HK and USA, I realise I narrowed the field a bit, but perhaps US dopers getting up on Monday morning can whack their answers in to see if anyone can beat **Ilsa** ’s 6 off the bat. ---

Not a problem, **Geezer**. I guess the thin desert air might accentuate the effects of the grape. ---

> [@Eve](#): > > (I am absenting myself from this quiz because, coincidentally, I just finished writing an Encyclopedia entry on Cary Grant . . . ) **Eve** , this was just the hors d’oeuvres. How about you doing a follow-up quiz on the great man? Say, 20 questions. Same rules apply - no googling. ---

It was only a 500-word entry, and only six of your questions were directly addressed in it (I had his whole life and career to cover, so I had to breeze over a few inconsequentials!). Jeez, tomorrow I gotta finish the entry on Richard Burton . . . ---

Perhaps when you’ve got more time. A quiz from a real movie buff would be fun. And Richard Burton! Another of my heroes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cary-grant-quiz/266247.md?page=1)
