It’s funny, seeing this movie again, how much of it is just Katherine Hepburn’s character being absolutely torn apart in a very cruel and personal manner on the eve of her wedding. The lesson and the message is a good one, and it’s a huge part of why I love the movie, but the frankness and insensitivity with which it’s delivered is insane. Still, I guess when Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart are two of the people throwing barbs at you, the blow is kind of cushioned by their awesomeness.
Anyway… it’s great. One of my absolute favourite old Hollywood movies.
Grade: *****
