You just don't get movie synopses like this anymore...

Disguising herself as a man, Sylvia Scarlett (Katharine Hepburn) boards a ferry with her improvident father (Edmund Gwenn) to smuggle some expensive stolen lace and sell it for a handsome profit. But complications ensue when the duo hooks up with a rakish jewel thief (Cary Grant).This may be

Ha, I think the male/female divide shows here. I have never seen that beacon of American film making.

That sounds fun! What film is this?

[mabith]

The title is Sylvia Scarlett. It's definitely not one of Hepburn's best, but does sound amusing.

Also, look, it's you:

I shall look out for it! You know, I've never actually seen any of Audrey Hepburn's films! That's terrible, isn't it? I shall remedy that as soon as possible.

Haha, I'm very happy that you thought of me when you saw that picture because I adore it and have often wished I looked more like her, and have shown it to Lucy a few times before haircuts! ♥

She is wonderful. I think Stage Door, Bringing Up Baby, and The African Queen are my favorites. The Philadelphia Story and Adam's Rib are definitely in my second tier. There are a lot of goodies. She's in a version of Little Women, that I've either never seen or haven't seen for a long time (I used to watch the old movie channel almost non-stop in middle school).

Aw, that picture is totally you. Curly hair, sexy legs, reading a book. What could be more Kate?

I can't even imagine the dangerous of the lace black market!

[mabith]

Oh yeah, it's a cut throat business. Tatters against bobbin lace makers... Belgians against Devonese...

I feel there's a good pun to be had in that somewhere, but my brain just won't think of it (possibly because I know very little about lace making).
