First Act Problems

There was a scene in Woman of the Year, the first film she made with Spencer Tracy, where it felt so intimate. I’d watched 20 films before I saw that and suddenly I felt this intimacy and thought I shouldn’t be watching it. It was the most relaxed I had seen Hepburn. I think she gave Spencer Tracy an enormous amount as an actor. She also talks about how much he gave her. In the scene she was playing drunk but there was a chemistry between them - it was like I was seeing someone falling in love. — Cate Blanchett

I think this is from the Old Vic’s The Philadelphia Story era - which is one of my favorite plays ever! But mainly it’s a reblog for the beauty of the dress (and the woman in it).  What can I say, I’m shallow, but I ain’t even bovvered.
