Of course they do. Actually, what I used to do was go out in the rain, rather than walk along Fifth Avenue in the morning.

I would imagine it would be dangerous to walk on Fifth Avenue at 7 o'clock these days, wouldn't it? I used to go out in the rain, some quent visits with his 9-year-old daughter, Jennifer, born to Grant and his fourth wife actress Dyan Cannon. (They are divorced).

A few years ago I was given an honorary Academy Award, and during the presentation they showed clips of my old films, and I could see them from where I was standing. You know, in some of them I couldn't even remember being on a particular set or making a particular scene. Some I do.

There were some that were very pleasant. I may have enjoyed working with a particular leading lady. But often I don't even remember being there. I would say, "My God, Your image remains strong today. But do you feel that the contemporary movie-going public would be receptive to the kinds of films you made over a 35-year span? GRANT: There's no way of knowing that.

Today is not yesterday. But I remember once, at a time when gangster films were very popular along with violence although not the kind of violence you have now I was in a drawing-room comedy (in 1958) with Ingrid Bergman called "Indiscreet." It made a fortune. It was just a standup drawing-room comedy So one never knows. I think today could also be the time to do something sparkling.

When he made the comedy, "What's Up, it was styled after the films I used to make, and the actor who starred in it, Ryan O'Neal, asked me for advice on how to play a Cary Grant-type part.

Where are the actors for that kind of role? That kind of acting has perhaps gone out. (Laughs). I remember when it came in. What exactly did you mean when you said, "Even Cary Grant isn't Cary Grant?" Grant: I'm not sure I said it just that way. But I think if you practice anything long enough, it becomes subconscious.

Instinct is always a compilation of experience. If you want to try anything, you have to pretend to be it first, I think I became what I portrayed. Do you follow any regimen for keeping fit and appearing youthful? Grant: No. As long as I keep breathing in and out I'll be all right. If I stop, you can say I had the wrong system.

The performances, all very natural, are among the film's greatest assets. All the slick-ness is in the script, written by Frank Pierson, who was nominated for two Oscars for writing "Cool Hand Luke" and "Cat Ballou." One of the script's virtues is that it sticks close to the truth of the original incident, tackles some big subjects, and keeps bubbling along at a good pace. It's all within the confines of popular entertainment. Pacino's costars include, as his sidekick, John Cazale, remembered as the weak-willed Corleone brother killed at the end of "The Godfather, Part Penny Allen as the bank's spunky head teller; Charles Durning as the mostly sincere policeman who handles the negotiations; and James Broder-ick as the tough FBI man who takes over.
