Leo McCarey A stylist of Hollywoods golden era passes
By his death last week the director Leo McCarey left a mark as a rare individualist and master comedic craftsman. From silent era routines to late studio friction he shaped classics with Laurel and Hardy, Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman and others. His peak came with Going My Way and The Bells of St Marys, followed by costly missteps that signaled his decline as Hollywood shifted away from his style.
