Description:

Collection of six Katharine Hepburn films. In 'Bringing Up Baby' (1938), eccentric heiress Susan Vance (Hepburn) steals a dinosaur bone from absent-minded paleontologist David Huxley (Cary Grant), forcing him to track her down to her Connecticut farm. Along the way he runs into trouble with the authorities and a possible sponsor for his museum, and ends up looking after Susan's pet leopard, 'Baby'. In 'Holiday' (1938), liberal-minded Johnny Case (Grant) wanders into a storm of trouble when he goes to meet his fiancee's wealthy family. His prospective father-in-law is not too impressed with Johnny's plan to take a 'holiday' in the early years of his life. Johnny is nonplussed - all he wants to do is enjoy himself and find a direction while he is still able. However, he finds unlikely allies in the form of his future sister-in-law, Linda (Hepburn), and her tipsy brother, Nick (Lew Ayres). In 'State of the Union' (1948), directed by Frank Capra, Spencer Tracy plays Grant Matthews, a prospective candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, backed by his mistress, newspaper mogul Kay Thorndyke (Angela Lansbury). In order to present a more wholesome image, Matthews convinces his estranged wife, Mary (Hepburn), to pose as his devoted spouse. Mary agrees because she thinks he might make a good president, but when Matthews corrupts his principles for votes, Mary realises she has made a mistake. Only when Matthews publicly admits his dishonesty does he prove himself worthy of Mary's respect - and her love. In 'Suddenly Last Summer' (1959), after witnessing her cousin's death, Catherine Holly (Elizabeth Taylor) begins to suffer mental problems. Her aunt, Violet Venable (Hepburn) attempts to persuade neurosurgeon Dr Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift) to perform a lobotomy in order to put an end to Catherine's hallucinations and prevent the truth coming out about her son's death. In 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner' (1967), Matt Drayton (Tracy) and wife Christina (Hepburn) are lost for words when their daughter, Joey (Katharine Houghton), returns from her Hawaiian holiday with a fiancee in tow. What shocks them is not so much that Joey is to wed, but that her proposed husband - research scientist John Prentice (Sidney Poitier) - is black. The Draytons have always believed themselves to be broad-minded people, but find they are put to the test when John says that the wedding will not go ahead without their whole-hearted approval. Finally, in 'Rooster Cogburn... and the Lady' (1975), the sequel to 'True Grit' (1969), John Wayne reprises his role as Rooster Cogburn. This time round, the rough and ready lawman teams up with prim missionary Eula Goodnight (Hepburn), who wants to find the men who killed her father.
