Granted WWII changed everyone's destiny. Grant went on to make a string of hapless films until he found himself again the late 50's. Hepburn seemed to have traded Grant for Spencer Tracy. Not that this was a bad choice, but Katherine was never able to show her comedic talents and athletic prowess that she had with Cary Grant.Jim Considinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659377292851718445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825694783801781047.post-1280683741761521782017-05-09T09:11:36.480-07:002017-05-09T09:11:36.480-07:00I've seen all four of these films multiple tim...I've seen all four of these films multiple times because Grant & Katherine Hepburn are two of my favorite actors.

Even though this was the thirties with dialog tied to the time,<br />if this film were made today the magic of Hepburn and Grant would pour onto you like<br />warm syrup. I loved the film. It felt good to see her disrupted and in her confusion bring her sense of stability grasp an answer to her inevitable result. Great movie.

It has both, and the screwball elements were not yet very clear.

She and Grant make a great team! I've just enjoyed reading all four of your full pieces on these films, which give a lot of food for thought and background information. <br /><br />My own favourite out of these four is 'The Philadelphia Story', but I do fume over the way Hepburn's character is blamed for everything from her husband's alcoholism to her father's affair, so was very interested to see your take on this and your argument that James Stewart's character is "tamed" as much as Hepburn's. I also like 'Holiday' a lot, and think Lew Ayres gives a fine performance as the brother - I feel I should love 'Bringing Up Baby' more than I do, as fan of Hawks and both stars, but maybe I was in the wrong mood for it when I saw it, as I found it too frantic. I also really wanted to like 'Sylvia Scarlett' but just didn't find it funny, although all the play with gender is very interesting and I also really liked Brian Aherne in it.
