Katharine Hepburn - Philadelphia Story

Two great scenes from Philadelphia Story (1940).
Katharine Hepburn is flawless as a wealthy women learning more about herself from her interactions with her ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a reporter (Jimmy Stewart) sent to cover her second wedding.
"..human frai- aren't the geraniums pretty, professor?"

"The transatlantic accent used in Old American movies was not indicative of the actual accent spoken of the era, but taught in boarding schools and used by actors in movies"

I didn't actually know they trained people to speak that way in boarding schools. Makes sense though.

She brought their considerable talents the same way she brought out our appreciation for her. What a phenomenal woman she was.

And still lots of movies have scenes where actors can actually interact with each other.

Fortunately, there's more movie in the world than only the Americans.

America is losing it's antiquity and it's polished, refined culture and class on a massive scale. Americans are also being dumbed down. I really wish we retained at least some of our culture - the good parts, at least.

[@toastedcheeser]

So agree!

[@waiterwhite198]

***** "These darn kids" You've grown old. American media has dumbed down and so if you base the people and culture on television and film you are to be the only naive one here. You'd be surprised how smart this generation is when put to the task. They are the ones who even allowed you the luxury of immediately sharing your voice with the entire world at the stroke of a few keys. While watching a time capsule from 1940 in an instantly streamable clip with little to no effort. The culture is there.... it's just not inside film anymore. It's in the computers and the other glowing rectangle screens.

[@SevenFootPelican]

WaIter White Well, yeah I agree partially. Still, though. I'm saddened by the fact that we've no longer retained culture through the classic art forms: television, film, music, novels. To me, technology is a tool as opposed to an art (and thus culture). I understand that there are few exceptions of young people who are trailblazers in today's high culture. But it seems like they're few and far between. Our country feels neutered in terms of culture. I'm very aware of the massive artistic revolution that's present in young Americans. But sometimes it feels phony to me. It feels self conscious instead of seamless. But even the small things we've seemed to lose. Our sense of dress, manners, hospitality, hard work ethic. These things are still there and being taught, sure. But they're seemingly becoming more exclusive for those who can afford those luxuries. The rest, in my opinion, seem to be spoonfed this generic, standardized, almost sterile culture. You're probably right, though. I shouldn't be focusing on TV and other main forms of "culture" when making an evaluation. But the only thing that irks me is that even today's "mainstream" forms of culture pale in comparison to yesteryear's "mainstream" forms of culture.

[@waiterwhite198]

***** Read your comment all the way through and figured I'd reply with a thought provoking rant. "To me, technology is a tool as opposed to an art" I don't get this statement because it insinuates that the internet is what is being presented as the art? The internet is the tool & platform that people utilize to create and distribute art. Just as they used the camera as the tool to film this movie you love. Technology has always been the "thing" to get us to the "great thing". Nothing has changed there except it's MORE accessible and you DON'T have to afford some luxury like in the old era. If you think great film making is gone then you're not looking in the right places. First thing is that most great film has simply transitioned into great television. Amazing performances aren't taking place on the big screen anymore. It''s all in the comfort of your home. Amazing episodic serialized programs with the most realistic performances like Breaking Bad and Walking Dead. If you love classics then check out Mad Men as it's a great TV series that is shot like a classic film. This stuff rivals anything I've seen in the early 1900s. Let's face it the acting in these old films is mostly horrible. Your issue is that you're looking through rose colored glasses due to nostalgia. Whereas your biased views are more about the happy giddy childhood memories that these films remind you of, more so than the actual program itself. Nostalgia is the BANE of our existence as it chains us to the past. We spend so much time trying to chase that feeling of our revisionist history that we lose opportunities to create actual happy memories TODAY. Trust me... we all do it!! Nostalgia has a funny way of making you think your childhood was all about being a kid and laying on the floor watching Katharine Hepburn with a smile on your face. When in reality your brain is conveniently leaving out all the bad memories of childhood. Just because something has a transatlantic accent doesn't make it classy. This was simply an accent to bridge the gap between America & Europe so they would THINK we were classy like them. Although Hepburn is a classic to remember, this isn't the case with a lot of movies from that time and this era was filled with negative things. You want it to go back to a world of giant corporate industries completely screwing actors, musicians, and artists out of their hard earned money? The early 1900s was not glorious class like you think. In fact it was wrought in horrible racism and unjust contracts and/or laws. Artists are still doing everything they did before, but with the internet they have way more access to people than ever before. Self made artists. The struggling artist can now be recognized for their great work. The struggling film makers can now reach millions of people on KZbin. Now everyone finally has the chance to be an artist and have it MATTER. Your other comment about "manners, hospitality, and work ethic" being something you either can or can't "afford" doesn't make much sense either. These are traits that any human can have and many do to this day. None of this has changed and humans have not changed in this specific regard since the dawn of time. I see polite, hard working, and hospitable people on a daily basis (myself included). You're clearly just surrounding yourself with negativity or live in an area with a large percentage of assholes. Open your mind more!!!

This accent is very similar to the way I speak, as an Australian. No, I don't speak like the Crocodile Hunter. My accent somehow avoids sounding British, American or Australian in origin.

It definitely does sound like a cultivated or a more upper class Australian accent.

@panzano1 My paternal grandfather spoke with precisely Hepburn's cadence. This accent was considered "high end" in New England. Many on Beacon Hill in Boston still use it (though it's dying out). Certainly Franklin Roosevelt had it as did his wife Eleanor. There was a times when the genuine New England accent was baredly discernable from the English spoken in quality circles in England. All the "sister schools" produced women who spoke thusly.

I want that accent so bad! It is so beautiful.

This era had class. Look at the clothing. Very sleek.

I wonder if the costume designer who curated Princess Leia’s costume in A New Hope drew inspiration from 0:01
