Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn

MGM (Video & DVD), 2001

The Lion in Winter
This is one of the best movies made! As close to Shakespeare as you can get in modern times. The dialogue is incredible,especially in the interaction of Hepburn and O'Toole. They also seem to be having such a good time with it.The whole cast couldn't have been chosen ...

Desk Set

Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn

20th Century Fox, 2004

A great romantic comedy with poor commentary track
When I list my favorite film for each year, this is always on my list for 1957. I know I'm supposed to say "Twelve Angry Men" or "Bridge over the River Kwai", but I just find this film to be better. Hepburn and Tracy star in a very odd romantic comedy in which the ...

The Philadelphia Story

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

Warner Home Video, 2000

The course of true love... ...gathers no moss.
Perhaps not my favorite classic, but The Philadelphia Story is a great adaptation of the play with some of the greatest actors of their day. Now I am only twenty so this was out far before my years, but it certainly kept my attention and will sit high in my list of ...

The African Queen [IMPORT]

Theodore Bikel, Humphrey Bogart

Castaway Nw UK, 2006

African Queen - Hong Kong Import
I saw absolutely nothing wrong with this version of the classic African Queen. I had been waiting for Hollywood to release this movie and had trepidations about buying a "foreign version". This turned out to be no problem, and I don't have to wait for Hollywood to get ...

Rooster Cogburn (...and the Lady)

John Wayne, Katharine Hepburn

Universal Studios, 1998

"Lord help us if they ever get the vote."
Rooster Cogburn DVD John Wayne reprises his role in True Grit as a crusty, over-the hill, U. S. Marshall, this time he is teamed up with Katharine Hepburn who plays the feisty daughter of a minister to the savage Indians. The Minister has been killed by a group ...

Holiday

Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant

Sony Pictures, 2006

Not just a holiday, but a way of life
For a film that just turned 70 years old, "Holiday" is remarkably timely. The question of what to do with your life, whether there's more to it than just making money & accruing power & status, resonates all the more in contemporary times. Everywhere the emphasis is on ...

The Cary Grant Box Set (Holiday / Only Angels Have Wings / The Talk of the Town / His Girl Friday / The Awful ...

Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant

Sony Pictures, 2006

A GREAT COLLECTION FOR FANS OF GRANT!
I found this box set for under $20.00, which is a bargain for 5 films of this quality. I never saw many of Mr. Grants films when I was growing up, but I do like films from all genres, so I figured I'd give this box set a chance. My parents are up for a visit and since ...

Bringing Up Baby (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn

Turner Home Entertainment, 2005

5 star package of overrated comedy
"Bringing up Baby" is a very famous screwball comedy which was a box office failure on its release but has become a cult classic. Starring Katharine Hepburn in her first outright comedy, she is at the heart of why the film failed in 1938. In simple terms, there was ...

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (40th Anniversary Edition)

Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier

Sony Pictures, 2008

Thematic still applicable today; great movie
"Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" is nothing short of fantastic. It is funny, smart, brilliant, thoughtful, and altogether great. The performances by Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier and Katherine Hepburn were phenomenal. I especially liked the performances by Hepburn and ...

On Golden Pond (Special Edition)

Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda

Lions Gate, 2003

A classic! I grew up watching this.
I still love this movie. Jane Fonda, Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda are all wonderful. A very heartwarming story about the relationships between three generations. You can't go wrong with adding this movie to your collection.

Love Affair

Warren Beatty, Annette Bening

Warner Home Video, 2002

Love this movie
A very clean chick flick. Two actors worth seeing together. Wish they would get together more often! Love is in the air on a cruise ship. Famous man finds shy girl and they fall in love. Only one problem...they both have significant others! To prove this was meant to ...

Stage Door

Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers

Turner Home Ent, 2005

Brilliant Ensemble Showcases Young Actresses Pounding the Pavement in a Classic Dramedy
Far more than George Cukor's vitriolic femme-extravaganza, The Women, this 1937 ensemble dramedy shows how vital women were during Hollywood's golden era, especially when they are not relegated to stoic wife roles or placed purely in adversarial positions. Following up ...

State of the Union

Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn

Universal Studios, 2006

WHERE IS GRANT MATTHEWS TODAY WHEN WE NEED HIM??
The story begins with Kay Thorndike (Lansbury) rushing to the side of her dying father, Sam Thorndike, newspaper publisher baron. He challenges her to remain ruthless and get back at the Republican Party which he feels betrayed his chance to be president. Kay decides ...

Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie (Broadway Theatre Archive)

Katharine Hepburn, Sam Waterston

Image Entertainment, 2003

sheer brilliance
THE GLASS MENAGERIE is one of the theatre's great masterpieces. Originally opening on Broadway in 1944, the play established playwright Tennessee Williams as a force to be reckoned with and provided Laurette Taylor with her final great Broadway role as Amanda ...

John Wayne: Screen Legend Collection (Reap the Wild Wind / Rooster Cogburn / The Hellfighters / The War Wagon ...

John Wayne, Ray Milland

Universal Studios, 2007

A must for any John Wayne fan.
What I love about this collection is not just the selection of his movies over the years of his career but also the different characters he gets to play. Reap The Wild is set in the 1840s Key West and John Wayne plays a sea captain. And he's not even the main ...
