The Tall Guy
The city has often been used as the backdrop for romances like "Indiscreet" (1958) with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman and "A Touch of Class" (1973), and has become popular for romantic comedies in recent years. This is at least partly due to the television and film writer Richard Curtis, who has written some of the most successful British films of recent years — "The Tall Guy" (1989), "Four Weddings and a Funeral" (1994), "Notting Hill" (1999) and "Love Actually" (2003), all set or partly set in the city. The films follow the awkward love lives of largely upper-middle class characters (aside from "The Tall Guy", always including one played by Hugh Grant).
