“Archie” by Paul Andrew Williams and Jeff Pope, now on OCS & Canal +

The great poverty his family faces, the death of his brother John, his mother’s institutionalization, and then his placement with his grandmother are trials that shape his character…

‘Everyone wants to be Cary Grant, even me.’

Behind one of these witticisms he was so fond of, however, lay a real existential crack in Cary Grant, unsuspected when he was admired on screen.

Archie, an unprecedented British mini-series, paints the portrait of a man reflecting on his past, in the autumn of his career.

The title of the series is inspired by a passage from the novel “The World of Yesterday” by Stefan Zweig, often cited by the protagonists: “There was only one thing to do: to withdraw into oneself and remain silent as long as the fever and delirium of others lasted.”
