Instead, she returned to England and married a much older and wealthy man she didn't love and stayed married to him for 40 years.
The film's main appeal in its 'battle of sexes' story is to relish in how Hepburn toys with Olivier's love, while he uses the debate weapons that made him a successful lawyer to try and win her over.

Unfortunately, his movie can't always decide what becomes a legend most, so much of the plot is by-the-numbers stuff about early childhood tragedies, standing up to Jim Crow, working through womanizing and drug addiction, etc. But the music and Foxx's performance are amazing, and the audience connection is always strong.
Susan Sarandon is his loving wife who suspects an affair, and Jennifer Lopez, in a surprisingly small part as a dance instructor, imparts a clarity and quiet elegance that's been missing too long from her movie work.
Combining the witty inventiveness of "Amélie" with a weightier subject -- love among the ruins of Western Europe -- the movie insists on the absurdity and carnage of war as well as the enchantment and tenacity of, well, enduring love.

For whatever reason, the movie failed, and RKO lost faith in her, especially after a group of exhibitors famously labelled her as "box office poison." She bought out her contract rather than submit to the less promising roles the studio began to offer her.
Not all her movies were good, but she became a sort of institution, beloved by audiences and critics alike.
She also did Love Among the Ruins (1975) with Lawrence Olivier, and a version of The Corn is Green (1979), both done for TV, and her last films with the man who discovered her, George Cukor.

Her Broadway role in ``Warrior's Husband'' brought a movie offer from RKO, and she went to Hollywood at $1,500 a week to star opposite John Barrymore in the 1932 film ``A Bill of Divorcement.'' The lean, athletic actress with the well-bred manner became an instant star.
Among the honors coming her way in later years: In 1999, a survey of screen legends by the American Film Institute ranked her No. 1 among actresses.
She was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on May 12, 1907, one of six children of Dr. Thomas N. Hepburn, a noted urologist and pioneer in social hygiene, and Katharine Houghton Hepburn, who worked for birth control and getting the vote for women.

Adding to the significance of the effort was that the director was George Cukor, who directed Hepburn in her first movie, 1932's "A Bill of Divorcement," and that instead of a soundstage the movie was filmed on location in Wales.
Hepburn received her third Emmy nomination (she won for "Love Among the Ruins"), and the rest of the performances provide her with an array of characters to play off of.
Ultimately, the 1945 film is far superior, but this TV movie tries its best, and in some ways, even exceeds in areas where the film did not.

 USATODAY.com - Katharine Hepburn, a leading lady for the ages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Katharine Hepburn was a modern woman whose career spanned modern movie history, from her debut in 1932's A Bill of Divorcement as John Barrymore's daughter to 1994's Love Affair as Warren Beatty's aunt.
She could be sexy, accomplished, flinty, repressed or socially gauche on screen — whatever the role called for in one of Hollywood's most eclectic, and beloved, film careers.
Casting Hepburn opposite Humphrey Bogart's affable slob in The African Queen was a stroke of genius that won Bogart the Oscar, and her TV movie with Laurence Olivier as her lawyer in 1975's Love Among the Ruins won Emmys for both.

 Katharine Hepburn Biography at Hollywood.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Cukor's "Sylvia Scarlett" (1936), in which Hepburn disguises herself as a boy throughout most of the movie, was perhaps the most notable early example of the androgyny that runs through Hepburn's career and a groundbreaking film for its undermining of socially constructed norms of femininity and masculinity.
Although Hepburn never married him, Tracy was the love of her life, and it was their pairing, both in the marvelous, tender and warm comedies on screen and during their 25-year affair, that made her New England rebelliousness most acceptable.
There are, however, those who consider her best acting of this later period to be in the TV films she made with Cukor, "Love Among the Ruins" (ABC, 1975), in which she gave an Emmy-winning performance opposite Laurence Olivier, and to a lesser degree, "The Corn Is Green" (CBS, 1979).

 Movie Review | Tristan + Isolde (2006) James Franco, Sophia Myles, Rufus Sewell
lays in ruins, ruled by tribes that fight among themselves, while the Irish, led by the fiendish King Donnchadh (David O'Hara) plots their destruction from across the sea.
The film breaks down into essentially two halves -- the first is a romantic love story between young lovers Tristan and Isolde, and the second a tragic melodrama where politics and duty threatens to tear apart all those involved.
Originally slated to be made by Ridley "King of Medieval Flicks" Scott in the late '70s (Ridley opted for "Alien" instead), 2006's "Tristan and Isolde" falls into the same category as Antoine Fuqua's 2004 film "King Arthur", in that it's a new take on an old tale.
