Review of Alice Adams (1935) by Fon G — 29 Dec 2009
As social satire about the class divide in 1930s America this romantic comedy may have lost some of its bite, but Katharine Hepburn's performance as Alice Adams is superb. This was one of her earlier films.
She was 27 when it was made but looks younger. In her later films there is often a harder edge to her screen persona, but here she positively glows. Definitely Kate's best film before Bringing Up Baby and a must-see if you're a fan of hers.
If you're not, watch it anyway: you have nothing to lose but your Street Cred!
