[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 430038, member: 57984"] I have to say (and probably already have, earlier in this thread, but I'm too lazy this morning to go back and peruse it) I have a strong preference for Kate's dowager roles from later in her career. Her earlier comedic parts are just fine -- she's chic and elegant (I have a copy of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY yet find it hard to trudge through sometimes). But, for me, Hepburn becomes more interesting, magisterial yet looser, as she ages. She's alternately breathtaking and awful in LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT (1962) and her most deserved Oscar (although she had to share it with Streisand) was for LION IN WINTER (1968) -- one of the great dialogue pictures ever. THE TROJAN WOMEN (1971) was not one of her biggest hits, critically or financially, but how many actors could handle a scene like this??, from about 01: 21:00 thru 01:24:00...
