Average Rating:	Lion in Winter [1968] starring: Anthony Harvey (II)\|Peter O'Toole\|Katharine Hepburn\|Anthony Hopkins October 05, 1998		Used Price: Â£2.25
What an over rated film this is. Not easy to get into, its verbosity is either a turn on or a turn off, depending on your taste, and once into its stride, it does not open out as I for one was hoping it would. Theatrical, with that high camp style that British cinema developed in the 60s to make full use of actors like O'Toole, Burton, Harvey, Williamson, Harris, to name a few of that physical brand of stage trained screen actor, it tends to screech its own greatness at you, telling you that with this great cast and with this stylish dialogue, what we have here is a great film of a fashionable era in history and a rather cool dynasty. That sort of thing...well it was made in the late 60s, and now seems very much a victim to the pervasive attitudes ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	On Golden Pond [1981] starring: Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Doug McKeon, Dabney Coleman directed by: Mark Rydell February 28, 2000		Used Price: Â£0.15
I certainly enjoyed what is a comfortable if slightly predictable story, but as a film this one falls somewhat short of deserving its "classic" status, never mind its three academy awards, especially so, the award for best screenplay. Why? Well surely the mark of a truly great film is its ability to draw the viewer in, to remove the camera and allow the audience to immerse themselves in the scene, to become in effect, silent participants. The actors become "real" characters caught in a moment of "real life"; the artificiality of actors actually acting is lost. Well you certainly don't get that here. The whole effect is rather like watching a stage play from way back in the stalls. The actors might play their characters perfectly competently, ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Guess Who's Coming To Dinner [1967] [1968] starring: Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, Katharine Hepburn, Katharine Houghton, Cecil Kellaway directed by: Stanley Kramer April 07, 2003		Used Price: Â£2.99
I saw this movie completely by chance as i stumbled across it on tv one night. Ended up watching it with my mother (who barely sights the tv except to watch the news!) and brother. We all absolutely loved it. The story deals with racism in days gone by. When Joanna Drayton tells her parents that she has bagged herself a doctor their reaction is not quite what she expects. The script is unbelievable and even though the movie revolves around a serious topic there are still several laugh-out-loud moments. I hope no one takes offence to that especially seeing as that I am of colour too and managed juuust fine. There are no words to describe the acting. Katherine Hepburn plays Joanna's mother and Spencer Tracy her father. If you have ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Philadelphia Story [1941] starring: Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey, John Howard directed by: George Cukor February 14, 2000		Used Price: Â£1.05
Tracy Lords is getting married again. This time to a man who worked his way to the top instead of starting there. Dexter her first husband invites himself to the wedding and the wedding preparations. Also inviting their selves with a little blackmail to the wedding is a writer, and photographer, from a magazine of dubious reputation. Throw in a philandering father and a friendly uncle. We watch as they go through the motions and emotions of courting and re-evaluating their lives. This is basically a comedy and yes it has all the actors and writers to make this a piece of cinematic art. However you will find it is just fun to watch. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The African Queen [1951] starring: John Huston\|Humphrey Bogart\|Katharine Hepburn\|Robert Morley July 16, 2001		Used Price: Â£0.25
Fantastic movie even a good 50 plus years after its original release. The first few minutes weren't the best and I was worried Katherine Hepburn was going to let me down for the first time. The lines just seemed too cheesy and the acting forced to the point of being comical. Like I said, it was only for the first few minutes. Once it becomes all about Hepburn and Bogart I was blown away. Two characters for pretty much the whole film and that was more than enough with the witty, charming dialog of the good classics. Bogart really steals the show and it isn't hard to see why he was awarded the oscar for best actor. Essentially it's a tried and tested formula. Boy meets girl and they take instant dislike to each other but over time warm to each other and fall in love. We all know ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Long Day's Journey Into Night [1961] starring: Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson, Jason Robards, Dean Stockwell directed by: Sidney Lumet January 13, 1997		Used Price: Â£6.20
Eugene O'Neill finished writing "Long Day's Journey Into Night" in 1940, but when he died in 1951 his will specifically stated the play was not to be produced until at least 25-years after his death. Because his widow relented and gave her permission for this "play of old sorrow written in tears and blood" we are left with this 1962 film and Katharine Hepburn's greatest acting performance. I first stumbled upon this film on late night television twenty years ago and I still remember staying up and crying throughout the emotionally devastating conclusion with the camera slowly pulling back from the family sitting around the table before a stunning series of emotional close ups of the doomed Tyrones. This painfully autobiographical play is set on the long day and night in 1912 ... Read More: >>More Details

Average Rating:	Holiday [1938] starring: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Doris Nolan, Lew Ayres, Edward Everett Horton directed by: George Cukor April 07, 2003		Used Price: Â£1.97
Katharine Hepburn made three films in a row with Cary Grant when she brought her career back after being branded "Box Office Poison." The pair had first made "Sylvia Scarlett" together in 1936, the infamous film where Hepburn's character pretended to be a boy. In 1938 they made the classic screwball comedy "Bringing Up Baby" with director Howard Hawks and in 1940 Hepburn returned to stardom and Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar for "The Philadelphia Story." The latter had been a play specifically written for Hepburn by Philip Barry. In between these two classic films, Hepburn and Grant did "Holiday," another film based on a Barry play. Hepburn had been the understudy for Hope Williams in the original 1928 Broadway production and it was the way she picked up a glass in her screen test of a scene from ... Read More: >>More Details
