Half an Hour Into It . . .
Hepburn finally makes her appearance.
This is one of the two Tracy & Hepburn films I have yet to see (THE SEA OF GRASS is the other), and, half an hour into it, I can't say I like it very much. I wonder how Hepburn would have fared in the Lansbury role, which was - at least at this point - bigger. For obvious reasons, however, she would have shied away from such a role, even if it had been available. Maybe the Tracy & Hepburn magic will prevail and carry the film off - I hope so, but I'm not quite optimistic at this point. Like THE SEA OF GRASS, it doesn't seem to be one T&H's more popular films.
