When & where do/did other posters watch Katharine Hepburn films? I first saw the bulk of her work on British TV during the 1980s (& recorded several films to watch over & over again), and I have half a dozen original videos as well as DVDs of African Queen and Holiday in my private collection.
On Golden Pond is the only film I saw at the cinema at the time of its release, but I was lucky enough to see Adam's Rib on the big screen during my membership of a vintage film club 15 years or so ago.
Unfortunately I now live in a part of the world where Katharine Hepburn is not very well known - the only film of hers I've seen here is "This Can't Be Love", shown due to the popularity of Anthony Quinn! For some reason Grace Quigley also turns up on a local satellite channel from time to time, but unfortunately none of her other films do.
So nowadays I rely mainly on the internet for access to information - and thanks to Shelley on this website, I recently had the chance to listen to the radio version of Undercurrent which is one of the few films I haven't yet managed to see.
How often do the rest of you get to see her films?

Middle East. Surprisingly, a (censored) version of The Aviator is currently showing at a few cinemas round town - progress indeed!
Normally people here rely on blackmarket VCDs & DVDs (of varying quality) for new films - I prefer to stick to my own private collection of film classics.
We don't have TCM either, just access to a couple of UAE-based film channels which show Hollywood family movies produced during the last decade.

So which bits do they censor . Presumably the section where Katharine and Howard are starting to get intimate - I am so glad that they stopped right there . Judging from the telegrams that surfaced last year Katharine and Hughes had an interesting relationship
