 | Robin and Marian
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.74 Her welcome 1976 comeback role. Fictional tale of the reunion of Robin Hood and Maid Marian in their later years. Co-stars Sean Connery. Exciting adventure film with rousing climax. Didn't care for the ending but admit it IS poetic and romantic. Good script, appealing musical theme.
|
 | Two for the Road
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $5.39 Interesting saga of the stages of a marriage, told in flashbacks. Co-star Albert Finney. The last film before her long hiatus from Hollywood. 1967
|
 | The Rainmaker
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.07 Film of well-written stage play. Both stars well cast. One of too many spinster roles for Kate, I think. Another Oscar nom for her. 1956
|
 | Roman Holiday (Special Collector's Edition)

Bogart finally won his Oscar. Another nom for Kate. Best Pic nominee too, directed by John Huston. 1954
|
 | Love Among the Ruins
Made for British TV. Done late in Kate's career, it's one of her best, but didn't get much attention for both reasons(though she did win Emmy).Courtroom drama with Olivier. Never too late for romance!
|
 | Desk Set
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $5.50 Best of the 9 Tracy/Hepburn pairings, I thought(1957).Not a huge fan of their films, but all were enjoyable. Others: Adam's Rib,Pat and Mike, State Of The Union, Woman Of The Year, Sea Of Grass, Without Love
