Get That Kate Hepburn Fix

hepburntracyIf Cate Blanchett's Oscar-nominated performance as the incomparable Kate Hepburn in The Aviator had you hungering for some of that original patrician flavor, head to MoMA this weekend. As a part of a tribute to director George Stevens, the museum will be screening the Hepburn/Tracy classic, Woman of The Year on Saturday at 8 pm. The original "they hate-each-other, they-love-each-other" rom com with Hep and Trac as warring journalists, it's a must. Aren't journalists in the movies so sexy?

Also on the bill, two Elizabeth Taylor classics on Friday, A Place In The Sun (5:30 pm) and Giant (7:45 pm). Watch and remember those days before Liz was but another name of the roster of Michael Jackson's witnesses for his defense.

I love Giant. I watched it obsessively as a kid. It's not a great movie, and in many ways it's not even a good movie, but it's complicated which is fun.

I particularly enjoy the clash of old hollywood (peck) and new hollywood (dean). Also, the Dean crucifixion scene is great, just brilliant.
