Mary J Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Is the Garry Grant who dances Alain related to the immortal Alexander Grant who originated (I think) that role? He certainly resembles him. This is a charming DVD, BTW, and I watched it twice all the way through upon receiving it yesterday. Link to comment

Mary J Posted June 2, 2005 Author Share Posted June 2, 2005 Thanks! He must be a much younger brother since I would have guessed a difference of generations based on his appearance. Link to comment
Jane Simpson Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 There's 15 years between them, I think. Grant Jr had a valid career of his own but he never entirely escaped the 'brother of the more famous Alexander' tag. Link to comment
Juliet Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I thought he was charming in this. I bought the DVD for Lesley Collier...so wonderful...sigh. The tenderness in the ribbon pdd, the fleet footwork, just wonderful. She was truly a lovely, lovely dancer.... Link to comment
