S01 E22 Did Katharine Hepburn truly shine in "Alice Adams," or was it one of her more excruciating performances? Join us for “The Great Kate Debate” as we passionately discuss the 1935 classic, starring Hepburn alongside Fred MacMurray. While one of us sees it as a delightful highlight of Hepburn's early career, the other labels it a torturous experience. We also provide a glimpse into the film's historical backdrop and Hepburn's rapid rise and fall in Hollywood.
This episode isn't just about the film itself; it's a deep dive into the career of Katharine Hepburn during a pivotal time. We scrutinize Hepburn's celebrated performance in "Alice Adams," for which she received a Best Actress nomination, and compare it to Bette Davis' win for "Dangerous." Explore Hepburn's on-screen insecurities versus her real-life audacity, her bold entry into Hollywood, and the profound direction of George Stevens. From Alice's desperate attempts to fit into high society to the emotionally charged scenes shaped by Stevens' insistence on genuine emotion, this discussion captures the essence of the film's most poignant moments. Through our fervent and sometimes contentious discussion, we uncover the layers of this classic film and its place in the annals of Hollywood history.
