Film notes

The film that made Katharine Hepburn a “star”, a great Cukar for a claustrophobic “kammerspiel”. The story should depict the sacrifice of Katharine Hepburn giving up her future life to help her insane father, but in facts Cukar perfectly depicts a specular madness with Hepburn’s helpless, intense ad impossible edipic passion for her father, a memorable John Barrymore.
