Cary Grant in None but the Lonely Heart (1944, dir. Clifford Odets)
"When Grant was awarded his honorary Oscar, he requested that a clip from None but the Lonely Heart be included in his film composite. Gregory Peck, who was going to leave the scene out of the assemblage, says: '…Cary cried on the screen, and he wanted that in. I didn't think it was one of his greatest moments. But he insisted. He said, 'Well, I didn't do much of that kind of emotion, but I think that was rather good.'
Grant: 'I thought the picture showed a successful bit of acting. I was usually cast as a well-dressed, sophisticated chap.This time I was an embittered cockney. In many ways the part seemed to fit my nature better than the light-hearted fellows I was used to playing.'"
