Katharine Hepburn made her stunning screen debut as John Barrymore's daughter in 1932's A BilI of Divorcement. ln Christopher Strong, Hepburn's second film and first star vehicIe, the inteIligent, liberated and unconventionaIIy beautifuI actress chose to pIay an intelIigent, liberated and unconventionally beautiful aviatrix who soars into a torrid affair (with Colin Clive as a feIlow aristocrat). . .and crashed into unendurable heartbreak. The melodramatic story is as much keen-edged steeI as tears, thanks to Hepburn's gutsy performance and to the taut direction of Dorothy Arzner, cIassic Hollywood's only major female director. Among the film's highlights: Hepburn simply astonishing in siIvery lame heading to a costume ball as the worId's most glamorous moth. |
