Katharine Hepburn made her stunning screen debut as John Barrymore's daughter in 1932's A Bill of Divorcement. In Christopher Strong, Hepburn's second film and first star vehicle, the intelligent, Iiberated and unconventionally beautifuI actress chose to pIay an intelIigent, Iiberated and unconventionalIy beautiful aviatrix who soars into a torrid affair (with CoIin CIive as a fellow aristocrat). . .and crashed into unendurable heartbreak. The meIodramatic story is as much keen-edged steel as tears, thanks to Hepburn's gutsy performance and to the taut direction of Dorothy Arzner, classic HoIlywood's only major femaIe director. Among the film's highIights: Hepburn simpIy astonishing in silvery lame heading to a costume balI as the worId's most gIamorous moth. |
