is great and deals with many of these issues. Plus, there's the whole issue of the Pentagon screening it a couple of years back as reference in dealing with Iraq.
"She was TOO OLD for
Yenta
!"
Yearning for a comeback on the stage, Hepburn returned to her roots on Broadway, appearing in The Philadelphia Story, a play written especially for her by Philip Barry, a year after Hepburn had starred in the film version of his play Holiday...His most famous work is The Philadelphia Story (1939), which was made into a popular 1940 film starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. Hepburn, a close friend of Barry, starred in the play on Broadway, bought the movie rights (with the help of her ex-boyfriend Howard Hughes), and successfully restarted her previously flagging Hollywood career with the film version...
Written for her in '39, movie made in '40.
I think my problem with Kate is that I bought her as patrician, but not spoiled patrician. She's definitely the weak spot of the three for me. If he could've handled the singing, I would have loved to see Cary Grant replace Bing in
High Society.
I think part of it, for me, is also that she looks older than she is. Some of it is how many movies she made when she was older, and her face didn't change much. What I'm saying is it might have been different in the moment, but, even so, I'm saying (at least) 15 years between siblings without any in the mean time is a stretch.

Joe's 19 years older than his brother.
Yes, and it bears remarking on, no? If I were a reporter (or, hey, two), I know I would remark on it.
t /even more contrary
Oh yeah?? Well ... well ... PLLLBBBBBTTTTT!!!
We should have it remade with the cast of Brokeback mountain with the wives in the Grant and Stewart roles.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll be passing them on. I'm very tempted to stick a Kate Hepburn movie on the list just to see if he notices.
I have to say, you all have done a much better job than the people here at the law school, who can't seem to figure out that the movies they're giving me are about foreign law not international law. I suspect it's just because fun questions like this are seem so few and far between when the dark cloud of final exams gathers over the university.
Just saw your request, Sparky. Gentleman's Agreement comes to mind. If you want something off the wall like an Errol Flynn war movie, Objective Burma! could fit (one character is killed in what could only be called torture).
