She stars as Eva Lovelace, a girl from a New England country town who has but one burning ambition: to become a successful stage actress. Arriving in New York, she manages to make friends quickly and even lands a small part in a Broadway show. Her big chance comes when the producer Louis Easton (Adolph Menjou) fires the star (Mary Duncan) and puts Eva on stage. Naturally, she’s a smash! Success also brings romance, and Eva becomes entangled in a love triangle with Easton and Writer Joseph Sheridan (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.). INCLUDES: Subtitles: English & Français (Main Feature. Bonus Material/Trailer May Not Be Subtitled). LITTLE WOMEN (1933) Directed by George Cukor, this charming 1933 version of Louisa May Alcott’s literary classic won overwhelming support (plus an Oscar® for Best Adapted Screenplay). All tomboyishness and spunk, Hepburn is Jo, the center of the Civil War-era tale of heart and hearth. Released during the depths of the Depression, the film buoyed Americans’ spirits. It still does. INCLUDES: Scoring Session Music Cues • Notes on the Hepburn/Cukor Collaboration & Awards Subtitles: English, Français & Español (Main Feature. Bonus Material/Trailer May Not Be Subtitled). STAGE DOOR (1937) Ginger Rogers and Ann Miller tap in time and rat-a-tat lines. Lucille Ball braves a date with an obnoxious lumber baron. Eve Arden can’t recall Hamlet, but one meets so many people in the big city. And Hepburn becomes Broadway’s biggest star in a play wherein she notes “the calla lilies are in bloom again.” A fast, witty story of aspiring actresses living at a theatrical boarding house. What matters most to an acting hopeful is an open door. With humor and heart, this excellent movie suggests some things matter more. INCLUDES: Musical Short Ups and Downs, Audio-Only Bonus: Radio Production with Ginger Rogers and Rosalind Russell Subtitles: English, Français & Español (Main Feature. Bonus Material/Trailer May Not Be Subtitled). PAT and MIKE (1952) Pat (Katharine Hepburn), a college phys-ed instructor, enters into professional competition as a golf and tennis player. Mike (Spencer Tracy), a likeable but unscrupulous sports promoter, first attempts to bribe Pat to lose, but later becomes her manager. Pat performs brilliantly until her insufferable fiance Collier West (William Ching) shows up; West always manages to make Pat so nervous that she can't win to save her life. At long last, West walks out, having found Pat in a compromising situation with Mike. Though she'd previously kept her distance from Mike, Pat suddenly realizes that she's fallen in love with him and--after a few crooked gamblers are disposed of--Pat and Mike become partners on a permanent basis. Pat & Mike reunited Tracy and Hepburn with their favorite director, George Cukor, and their favorite scenarists, Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin. Watch for real-life golf and tennis champs Gussie Moran, Babe Didrickson Zaharias, Don Budge, Alice Marble, Frank Parker, Betty Hicks, Helen Dettweilerand Beverly Hanson as "themselves" -- and also keep an eye out for ex-ballplayer Chuck Connors, making his acting debut as a highway patrolman.
