The incomparable Katherine Hepburn

Tony & I watched this movie on Sunday evening.
I heart Katherine Hepburn.  My favorite movie of hers is, of course, The Philadelphia Story.

The Philadelphia Story - one of the many classics
where I identify with the female lead very closely...

However, films that feature her and Spencer Tracy are divine as well, given their off-stage romantic history.  Tony and I laughed and enjoyed this.  I was a little shocked while watching because though the show the married couple having separate beds (it was the time period), Katherine and Spencer do have a "rub down" (massage) scene that is very charmingly weird and a couple off-camera scenes where they're kissing, I'm sure...eek.  However, this at times cheesy movie is a must see.

Spencer & Katherine

But seriously, how could you not think he was a 'G'?

Because I recently purchased a 4-movie Hepburn DVD set from half.com, we've been watching a lot of her.  I'm sure Tony liked Bringing Up Baby much more because he thinks Cary Grant is a 'G', but Spencer Tracy may win him over yet.

I hope you too can learn, if you don't already, to enjoy old classics...

P.S.  If you're familiar with the musical, Singing in the Rain, see if you can find an icon from that film get one of her first screen roles in this movie.
