I've seen it recently. My third time. I like it more and more after every watching. I'm still unsure if Kate and Spencer fit in Capra style. I'm not Capra fan (I like a few his movies but some of them make me depressed... and this propaganda... OK, it's another story). However, I love some scenes of SOTY so much that I don't care much that Kate knitting and lighting someone's cigarette make me uncomfortable. Sometimes I think it's nice to see her in different role - not so hard woman (but still clever and interesting).
My favorite lines:

Spike: If I had your number, I'd call you and tell you who's gonna be the next President of the United States.
Secretary: I know. Truman.

Grant: No way for a fellow to be elected president without his wife knowing about it, is there?

Mary: Grant and I can stay here.
Jim Conover: Here?
Mary: It's all right. We're really married.

Jim Conover: We've won Congress and there'll be a change in the White House after the next election.
Mary: Has Mr. Truman heard about this?

Mary: It'd be fine to kill these rumors. It'd be even finer to kill Kay Thorndyke.

Mary: I know he's a big man. You know he's a big man. My bad days are when he knows he's a big man. You don't suppose there's any way of Grant's being elected president and keeping it a secret from him, do you?

Mary: Wonderful country. You have to take the police along to break the speed laws.

Grant: Looks a little like your brother Dick.

Grant: Where was I?
Barber: Looking at her with the wind blowing her dress, mannaggia, l'America!
Mary: Well, that's the end of that. I should have married a barber.

Mary: No woman could ever run for president. She'd have to admit she was over 35.

So I think the script is brilliant most of the time. Actors are great all the time. I'd just prefer Cukor instead of Capra...

What gets me about this film is Spencer's platform as a Republican- he wants things like affordable health care, etc- things that Obama is getting flak for now, as a Democrat. If this took place today Rush Limbaugh would be screaming "SOCIALIST!" after every scene. It's fascinating how they had this in 1948.

I'm watching this again now on TCM did anyone else notice that Kate looks tired in this film? Maybe its because she doesn't have much eye make up on? Even my friend who was watching this with me comented that she looked exhausted. Are we the only ones who noticed this?

Judy: All has changed on the Proboard....Not sure my reply got posted. Anyway, thanks for the notice, Evelien. I'm unable to access it. I can watch the clip of the woman flipping through the Kate books and talking about fashion - one of which is Rebel Chic :-) Feb 4, 2014 20:29:21 GMT -5
