Spring Film
Series: THE Films of Spencer Tracy AND Katharine Hepburn
AR-06 Classes begin: Mar 3 (End date: Apr 28) 21 Hours
(7 Sessions) Mon: 6:30-9:30
In this film series, we will explore the 26-year span of films that starred
Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn. From their first film together, Woman of the
Year, made in 1942, it was apparent to many that there was something special
going on between these two stars. Tracy had already won his 2 Oscars, Ms Hepburn
had already done Philadelphia Story. Yet, the films that these stars made
together carve out a unique place in film history separate from their individual
careers. In this class, we will watch seven of their nine films, ending with
Spencer's last film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Join us as we discuss how they
and their various directors developed and strengthened their fabulous film
chemistry.
