I just finished watching this for the first time. I thought for her screen debut, it was really good. The storyline was kind of dull and the ending sort of silly, but she and Barrymore together were great. I really liked her entrance down the stairs, and that dress was divine  I thought she was very pretty as well. I think it's ridiculous people said she was funny looking...sure, she has a unique look but I don't see her as "odd." It's amazing what so many people said about her (i.e. box office poison) yet she is now one of the most acclaimed actresses of her time, if not the most acclaimed. |

I thought it was a so-so film, but I'd be perfectly happy to watch it again just to see Kate, even though she was wooden at some parts, this being her first film and all. If nothing else, it's interesting to watch this and Morning Glory back to back and see how much she'd improved in just two films after this one, and knowing what fantastic work she'd do later on. Barrymore was also excellent, as usual. I paid a pretty penny for the VHS tape off Amazon, but it was worth it just to have the divine Kate's first film, especially since I've recorded it to DVD. DVD's just so much easier to watch than VHS.  |

This is not my favourite film, but I have to agree with you, Joey, that it's worth watching just for Kate's very first performance. It's interesting to see her stumble a little bit but you can't deny that she had an amazing screen presence already back then. You just can't take your eyes off her.

Thought the crowd might be interested in this image I just cropped from a tiny part of an Arrow Shirt advertisement (with a theatre "quiz" kind of theme to it) in a 1947 Playbill I recently scanned for a project. Of course the two Katharines are Cornell and Hepburn. On the original Playbill page (for a Judith Anderson MEDEA by the by) this was one of 7 caricature images with quiz questions .. and in the original this particular image is all of 1.5 inches by 3 inches. Ah the world of scanners gives us little gifts all the time, right?  |

Just stumbled upon this interesting board.. Does anyone have any video interviews with KH?? Or maybe transcripts of them? I´ve been especially looking for the full version of the famous Cavett one forever and ever...
