| FILMOGRAPHY: Early Films |
| Quality Street,1937 |
| Quality
Street, is one of the many period
films that Kate did in the 1930's. I happen to think its quite a jewel
and love seeing it whenever its on. It also stars one of my favorite
actors Franchot Tone (see
my web site on Franchot Tone) as Kate's leading man, Dr. Valentine
Brown. Kate plays Phoebe Throssel whose beau Dr. Brown never seems
to get around to proposing. He leaves for the Napoleonic wars for
ten years and comes back to find Phoebe an old maid school teacher
that the now Captain Brown doesn't even recognize. To get revenge,
Kate poses as her niece Livvy, but finds that the Captain prefers
Phoebe in the end. The cast was wonderful and the sets and costumes
truly beautiful.
The
cast includes:
-
Katharine Hepburn .... Phoebe Throssel
- Franchot
Tone .... Dr.
Valentine Brown
- Eric Blore .... Recruiting Sergeant
- Fay Bainter .... Susan
Throssel
- Cora Witherspoon .... Patty the Maid
- Estelle Winwood .... Mary
