content: throughout her career I have found Hepburn to always rattle on too fast and breathy... signs of a nervous performance but that is the last characteristic of this well founded famous talent, so what's the deal? Dinner scene was akin to nails on blackboard and how this Hollywood ending made ANY sense after such an extreme display of low self esteem, the book knows better... Hattie shamelessly gnawing on gum, fidgeting with the flimsy maid doilie hat, and expressing disgust in no uncertain terms made the most impressive honest delivery in the film, recommend for her performance alone!
