Film The Philadelphia Story (1940) and Sylvia Scarlett (1935)

  • Picture_1_large

Symphony Space's series Davis and Hepburn: Feisty and Fabulous is a summerlong tribute to a pair of original screen sirens: Bette Davis and Katharine Hepburn. In tonight's double feature, Hepburn outshines male costars Cary Grant and James Stewart as a luminous heiress in The Philadelphia Story, then makes a gender-bending transformation as a cross-dresser in Sylvia Scarlett. These films illustrate the four-time Oscar winner's early versatility and showcase her characteristic independence. Other Hepburn highlights in the series include Long Day's Journey into Night (1962) and Adam's Rib (1949).
