This is undeniably one of the best, if not the BEST, movie monologue ever to embrace our screen
-
What a powerful performance by one of the greatest, classic Hollywood Actresses! This makes me want to see this movie all the more!
-
This is my favorite scene from this movie. The dialog between Henry and Eleanor was absolutely brilliant. I love seeing a young Anthony Hopkins in this film as well.

@windstorm1000 It's a joke. It's not a criticism. I love Katharine Hepburn, and I love this movie. It's just a slightly amusing note of Old Hollywood that you could get away with that, as well as the fact that Hepburn could never change her voice.

@KilldozerRocks Its called poetic license and certainly doesn't affect the magnificent performances. I fancy Henry and Eleanor would have liked these portrayals of themselves (if not totally agree).
-
This breaks my heart every time I watch it.
-
One of the most over rated actresses in the history of the silver screen.
-
One of the best monologues ever, and one of the best performances ever on screen.
-
@KilldozerRocks good choice! if you can think, run from where i am! otherwise you will land on your hat.

@hammertapping I'd rather not, I'm busy watching Bringing Up Baby.

How will any other actress even come close to Hepburn in the future? What an amazing genius she will have to be to withstand any comparison to Kate
