terrific

No wonder this movie is considered a classic. It is so well done that it remains as fun to watch as it must have been when it first came out. Bogart and Hepburn create memorable characters that evolve in the course of the movie and make it interesting to watch the whole time. People of all ages enjoy this show.

Great Flick

I remember watching this film when it came out in the movies in the fifties. I didn't see it again until I purchased this DVD and it's still as good as I remember it. Bogey and Hepburn were a great team in this film.

We recently had a little in-house Katharine Hepburn film festival, and concluded that most of her films were really pretty dumb. This one isn't. It's every bit s good as I remember, and for once the story is worthy of the talent (and of course, Bogart doesn't hurt!). This is one that justifies the legend.
