[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 372384, member: 5079"] Last night, I watched WITHOUT LOVE (1945), one of the lesser Tracy-Hepburn films. I think I've seen it before, but had no specific memory of it. Now I know why -- it's an unmemorable film. Tracy & Hepburn spend a good deal of the movie apart, reducing the film's screen magnetism. Also there's not much plot or humor. The movie only perks up when Lucille Ball and Keenan Wynn are on screen; they also made a great supporting pair in the even worse EASY TO WED (1946). There' s a scene in the film where Hepburn had to veer from light comedy to heavy drama, and it encapsulated her weakness as an actress. When striving for Deep Feeling, she was superficial and theatrical. The best comic actress of her generation, yet she seemed incapable of mimicking normal human emotions like grief; maybe it was her snooty patrician upbringing or an inherent egotism.
