I think it is one of the best films ever made. But Hepburn in the role? Without the strong characterizations by the other strong actors, her very presence would kill the film.<br /><br />I've been trying to think of an actress better suited for that role. Any suggestions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-51570383945372182072010-01-10T22:50:49.867+01:002010-01-10T22:50:49.867+01:00Ah, thanks for the info!

The film is horrible, not her best, but there are small nice pieces.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-26494639227941609672010-01-06T10:47:01.817+01:002010-01-06T10:47:01.817+01:00I don't know, probably because she was a big s...I don't know, probably because she was a big star...I'm not sure actually how old her character is really supposed to be because they never say her age but anything above 30 wouldn't make any sense.Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291268052797806635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387045812787281.post-16129979743859431862010-01-06T00:32:53.674+01:002010-01-06T00:32:53.674+01:00If she was so much older then her character, then ...If she was so much older then her character, then why did she cast in the first place?joe burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987519630654592530noreply@blogger.com
