Peter Wingfield D:

Unrelatedly, it is fascinating how much the different pictures affect who I find attractive and who I don't. For example, the last few days I've been distinctly unmoved by Katherine Hepburn, but today all of a sudden I went OH HEY. (unfortunately for her, that's not enough for her to get over the bias I have developed over the last two days...)

I have actually never seen a Katharine Hepburn movie! I take it you think I should rectify this....

Well Lion in Winter is already basically at the TOP of my to-watch list of movies, on account of ELEANOR OF ACQUITAINE, and also your previous enthusiastic recommendations of it. So now it is even more of a priority, obviously!

The Philadelphia Story is also now on my to-watch list, and looks like fun.

And yeah, screwball comedies are...often not the best for me. But it depends!

I hope I will enjoy them (and Katharine Hepburn) too! I am sure I will though. They sound excellent.

(Pst - if it helps, my favourite insane history Prof thinks Lion in Winter is worth a watch, for the comedic historical inaccuracies if nothing else. He even made us watch one of the scenes with Hepburn during class.)

WELL then, clearly I need to watch it with you so you can point out the comedic historical inaccuracies!

My favorites are The Philadelphia Story and Desk Set!

OH MY GOD.

Yeah, fix it. Her purring enunciation and heavy-lidded skepticism hold a lot of her appeal.

PS ALSO SHE WENT TO BRYN MAWR SO /SEVEN SISTERS

HAVE NO FEAR! A fix is in the plans!

(the meaning of your Bryn Mawr comment, though, eludes me...)

It means I have a slight added bias of Alma Mater kinship because my mother went to Bryn Mawr, and I went to Mount Holyoke (and at least one person reading this went to Smith). :3
