Katharine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor in Tennessee Williams’ Suddenly, Last Summer  (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1959)

My favorite line from this film (spoken by the inimitable Hepburn):  “ Most people’s lives, what are they but trails of debris - each day more debris, more debris… long, long trails of debris, with nothing to clean it all up but death.”

Bringing Up Baby

Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn had already made Sylvia Scarlett together when they were reunited for Bringing Up Baby (1938).  They would make two more films together, Holiday and The Philadelphia Story.
