(ORIGINAL) "Untold" This documentary titled "Operation Flagrant Foul" recalls the case of Tim Donaghy, the NBA referee who in 2007 came under investigation for betting on games he was working, a story that rocked everyone from suburban Philadelphia bookies to New York crime families and the worldwide sports gambling underworld.

"Bringing Up Baby" (1938) One of the best-known "screwball" comedies casts Grant as a paleontologist who gets mixed up with an heiress (Katharine Hepburn) and her pet leopard ... the Baby of the title. "Gunga Din" (1939) Grant, Victor McLaglen and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. star in this adventure classic as military men assisted by a would-be soldier (Sam Jaffe). It's part of Turner Classic Movies' "Summer Under the Stars" tribute to Grant on Sunday, Aug. 28. "His Girl Friday" (1940) This celebrated remake of "The Front Page" features Grant as a newspaper editor concerned about his reporter ex-wife's (Rosalind Russell) impending remarriage. "The Philadelphia Story" (1940) This Oscar- winning comedy reteams Grant and Katharine Hepburn as ex-spouses reunited uncomfortably on the eve of the woman's next wedding. "Penny Serenade" (1941) Grant and Irene Dunne have heartbreaking moments as a couple whose relationship may be over, despite many memorable times they've shared. "Suspicion" (1941) In his first teaming with director Alfred Hitchcock, Grant plays both into and against type as a charming fellow whose new wife (Oscar winner Joan Fontaine) believes he's plotting to kill her. "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1943) In the Frank Capra-directed screen adaptation of the stage hit, Grant plays a journalist whose visit to his aunts (Josephine Hull, Jean Adair) reveals a lethal surprise about them. "Destination Tokyo" (1943) About as timely a war story as possible, since this was released while World War II still was raging, this tense drama stars Grant as the captain of a Japan-destined American submarine. "The Bishop's Wife" (1947) This holiday- season favorite offers Grant as an angel sent to help a bishop (David Niven) who has lost his way. "I Was a Male War Bride" (1949) Grant goes for laughs as a foreign officer who wants to accompany the lieutenant he married (Ann Sheridan) back to the United States. "To Catch a Thief" (1955) This great-looking Alfred Hitchcock project reunites the filmmaker with Grant, playing a retired cat burglar being blamed for new crimes committed on the French Riviera. "An Affair to Remember" (1957) This famous "weeper" teams Grant with Deborah Kerr as two people whose chance meeting leads them to pledge to meet up again six months later. "Indiscreet" (1958) Believing a dashing financier (Grant) is unmarried, an actress (Ingrid Bergman) takes a romantic interest in him, only to learn he does have a wife – yet they pursue a relationship anyway. "North by Northwest" (1959) In one of Alfred Hitchcock's best movies, Grant plays a businessman mistaken for a spy and forced into a run for his life, culminating in a legendary chase across the faces of Mount Rushmore. "Charade" (1963) The template for director Stanley Donen's romantic thrillers casts Grant as an enigmatic man presumably helping a widow (Audrey Hepburn) whose husband was murdered.
