Hepburn miscast because..
Taylor would never have fallen crazy in love with her nor Mitchum- Vivian Lee or Gene Tierney maybe.
Mitchum was miscast also.

Why wouldn't they?
shareBecause she was doing her awkward Alice Adams routine, that's why not.
"The night was sultry."
Ah, so a woman has to act a certain way before men will even look at her?
shareI have no idea. I'm no expert on women's behavior nor to which stimuli men can be expected to respond.
The OP and I were discussing a movie and the casting of Hepburn in it. I'm not sure what your point is or indeed, if you have one at all.
"The night was sultry."
The OP says that the two men in the movie would not fall in love with her and that's why she was miscast, why? That's what I want to know.
sharekatherine hepburn was a great actress who certainly didn`t make it on her looks... the premise that robert taylor would flip out over this very plain woman is too much of a stretch. and robert mitchum getting the jellylegs over ms. hepburn is laughable..
reread the comment above about vivian leigh or gene tierney being a better casting choice..
You must not have paid any attention to the movie. He was drawn to her because she is very similar in features and body type to the woman he wanted but who loves his brother~who won't return her affection.
Remember the woman she spoke to in the ladies' lounge? She mentions the resemblance. Later, she realizes he simply wanted to make her over to a closer image of that woman. Only, she adores him, not rejects him.
As for Robert Mitchum: It was shown that they are kindred spirits. She felt a connection as early as the underlined passage in the book of poetry.
Besides, Katharine Hepburn is a lovely woman! Yes, they stressed how she could look plain, which she is unafraid to do, then showed her ability to be glamorous when she wore the "right" clothing. It was a believable transformation. Before, she had no reason to "gussy up", being focused on her research.
I found it quite believable. I really loved seeing the men in roles that some might have expected to be reversed. Seeing a "kindler, gentler" Mitchum was quite an experience!
*** The trouble with reality is there is no background music. ***
Totally agree.
Complete miscast of nearly all the principle characters.
No on screen believability or charisma between characters that were supposed to be madly in love.
Contrived story...simply awful.
Perhaps enjoyable if you enjoy style...and without substance.
And yes...the hats were atrocious!
You're CRAZY if you don't think Hepburn was gorgeous....and you're probably a dog yourself who is the only person who thinks you're attractive.
