"Madonna of the Seven Moons" (1945), with Calvert and Roc, was more Gainsborough melodrama, another hit. Also popular was "Caesar and Cleopatra", supporting Claude Rains and Vivien Leigh; this movie lost money because of its high production cost but was widely seen, and was the first of Granger's movies to be a hit in the U.S. At the end of 1945 British exhibitors voted Granger the second most popular British film star, and the ninth most popular overall. "The Times" reported that "this six-foot black-visaged ex-soldier from the Black Watch is England's Number One pin up boy. Only Bing Crosby can match him for popularity."
