Description
Vintage movie poster reproduction for ''Quality Street,'' a romantic comedy film released in 1937, directed by George Stevens and starring Katharine Hepburn in the lead role. The film is an adaptation of J.M. Barrie's 1901 play of the same name, and it showcases Hepburn's talent for comedic acting and her enduring charm.
The story is set in the early 19th century in a small English town called Quality Street. Hepburn plays the character of Phoebe Throssel, who is in love with Dr. Valentine Brown (played by Franchot Tone). However, due to a misunderstanding and a long separation caused by Dr. Brown's involvement in the Napoleonic Wars, Phoebe fears that he no longer loves her.
When Dr. Brown returns to Quality Street, Phoebe pretends to be her own niece, Livvy, in an attempt to recapture his affection. She adopts a younger, more vivacious persona to compete with her own past self. The film explores themes of love, self-identity, and societal expectations in a humorous and light-hearted manner.
Katharine Hepburn's performance in "Quality Street" is a highlight, showcasing her comedic skills and her ability to portray characters with depth and wit. Her transformation from the reserved and plain Phoebe to the lively and flirtatious Livvy is a testament to her versatility as an actress.
The film also features a strong supporting cast, including Franchot Tone as the bewildered Dr. Brown, and Eric Blore as Phoebe's loyal friend, who provides comic relief throughout the story.
"Quality Street" is known for its period costumes, charming English village setting, and the delightful chemistry between Hepburn and Tone. While it may not be as well-remembered as some of Hepburn's other iconic films, it remains a charming and enjoyable romantic comedy that showcases the actress's talent and charisma.
