| Trivia | The scene in which Katharine Hepburn's character is riding up a hill on a bicycle was intended to be shot with a stunt double, but Hepburn insisted on doing it herself. After she fell off the bicycle several times, she overheard a crew member say, "God, she got old." She approached him, said, "You're right. I have", signaled for the stunt double to take over, and went back to her hotel. See more » |
