Quality Street (1937)

My Rating

Movie Info

Previously filmed with Marion Davies in 1927, the lightweight James M. Barrie play Quality Street proved an ideal vehicle for Katharine Hepburn ten years later. The setting of the Barrie original was switched from 1805 Scotland to 1815 Regency England, to avoid a preponderance of brogues and to take advantage of the latter era's more attractive costumes. (Candid home movies taken on the set indicate that this sumptuous production might have been even more resplendent in Technicolor.) Because

The excellent costumes and photography, and a superb rendering of gardens in London are far better than the story or the acting.

Even the film's star Katharine Hepburn said she found it repulsive.

Given the cast and the director, this is very disappointing.

Audience Reviews for Quality Street

There a very few Katherine Hepburn movies that I feel are sub par, and this is one of them. I didn't care for her performance and the film is way too talky, bringing on some boredom. However, the costumes and sets are wonderful, as is the supporting cast.

Quality Street is a cute movie. It is an entertaining romantic comedy. Katherine Hepburn is excellent but not one of my favorites. The script is witty and good. George Stevens did a good job directing this film. I liked this motion picture because of the romance. Quality Street is an okay movie.
