Good job. That's about right.

Can't watch Hepburn except for Stage Door, Bringing Up Baby or Morning Glory, and they're primarily for the rest of the cast in those films.

Otherwise, Two-Faced Woman (would be 19*4*1, right?)

What Price Hollywood? (1932) and Rockabye (1932) are well worth the watch IMHO, and still hoping to see Susan and God (1940).

Cukor seems to go for the downbeat. Otherwise Camille, David Copperfield, Dinner at Eight, Little Women and Gaslight would have been better if not for their dismal shadowing.

Thanks for the reply!

Yes, Two-Faced Woman is the 1941 movie, Garbo's last film, I believe, lightweight but fun.

Hepburn will never be one of my favourites but I have warmed to her recently having hugely admired some of her performances -- she could be very good (or indeed quite bad)... I certainly loved her in Alice Adams and The Trojan Women, among others.

I shall check out the Cukor movies you name. I have also heard good things about The Actress and Bhowani Junction.

I love Two-Faced Woman, though realize many for some reason (I think mainly because it's not "typical" Garbo) don't care for it and rate it low. (I see I chose to rate it 8, as I so thoroughly enjoy it. It perhaps, more realistically, warrants a 7 rating - though, IMO, no lower.) I think Garbo's absolutely delightful in it, and that also the rest of the primary cast (especially Constance Bennett, and her Griselda character's determination to maintain poise!) is a real treat.

Quite, have you seen Hepburn in Summertime? It's perhaps my favourite of her films. She gives a lovely, entirely believable (unaffected), understated, sensitive performance in it. Her performance in that is excellent, and very appealing.

I agree, Quite, that What Price Hollywood? and Rockabye are both good Cukor films. I enjoy both of those - especially Rockabye.

Oh, haven't seen Summertime (nor have been aware of its existence until now), but that does sound interesting, and also its cast.

Did see parts of Suddenly Last Summer and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner a couple of times. Always thought that Hepburn is way too hard on Mrs. Olsen in that because Mrs. Olsen is not the least bit racist.

Maybe it was some of those IMDb trolls from the bad old days who caused the Hepburn aversion toward us regular individuals. One of the saner, more sensible posters there has summed it up best by commenting, "The only thing worse than a Hepburn performance is a Hepburn fan."

Maybe because it was her personal rejection of God, and if not entirely for that, then largely because of it.

Maybe because she was labeled "Box Office Poison" in the 1930's, and many wonder how she was not considered more of the same for the entirety especially because who knows why anyone would think that her performances improved since those early days?

But perhaps it best to keep things positive and to permit fans to appreciate whomever they like because that could change at any given moment.

Just look at the singers and shows and films and politicians and teachers whom we once looked up to, and then. So why not other celebrities, as well, right?

I've seen others but some, not all the way through or it's been too long to judge them fairly.

Another nice George Cukor comedy is It Should Happen to You (1954), with Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon. It looks like you've already seen most of my favorite Cukor films (that I've seen so far), such as Dinner at Eight, Born Yesterday, etc. He's definitely one of my favorite directors. I'm looking into seeing Holiday soon.
