Interesting. The premise of the movie fails because Katherine Hepburn looks much too feminine to pass as a boy. No one would be fooled by her, although perhaps I am applying modern standards to 1936. Having said that, Hepburn and Cary Grant turn in wonderful performances. I found it very interesting to see Grant, who later played mostly suave sophisticates or hapless, yet educated, comedic roles, going on in that Cockney accent. I thought he did it extremely well, but then I am American, so I probably don't have the ear for it that a Brit might have. This film is definitely worth seeing once.
