$\"Gravatar\"$ So Fricking True, Your Majesty.

Philadelphia Story was screaming for a nice polyamorous (quad) ending, doncha think? One of my absolute favorite films, though I cannot gloss over some of the glaringly obnoxious moments.

Also interesting in terms of strong career women is another Hepburn sojurn into fabulosity: Woman of the Year. The ending is also a surprise, suggesting a division of household labor between husband and wife. Who woulda thought?

$\"Gravatar\"$ Oh I hated the ending of Woman of the year. She was so feisty and fabulous, and she ends up cooking eggs? But I loved the rest of it.

His Girl Friday is fun too. And the one most often mentioned in the linked article- It happened one night- pure awesomeness.

Yes, Philadelphia story needed some menage a 4 action. Someone should totally make a porn based on it.

$\"Gravatar\"$ One more exception- Kate Winslet in eternal sunshine. She has her issues but she is far from her modern killjoy sisters

$\"Gravatar\"$ RQ, I've a film junkie/buff, and my favorite single genre is probably screwball comedy. It's also why I like Much Ado About Nothing so much more than Taming of the Shrew - Much Ado has all the sparks and banter, without the sexism (at least in the leads).

There was a great radio piece on this I'll try to dig up, but I believe it was an interview with the woman who wrote Fast-Talking Dames or something like that. They talked about how women in romantic comedies have gotten so much weaker, and played some great examples.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Much ado about nothing is great, like the original fast talking dame! i love the one with Emma Thompson, she's an awesome Beatrice.

I think I need to curl up with a giant stack of movies this weekend.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Bringing Up Baby, the original and the best.

Katharine Hepburn un-fuddyduddies Cary Grant, at their hottest and most fun.

I've never seen the appeal of perpetual adolescence. That was a state I couldn't wait to leave behind. Probably why I never dated until I get older... and then what I look for was Men. Not children.
