  Morning Glory (1933)
Morning Glory (1933) is the story of a naive and pretentious aspiring actress, starring Katharine Hepburn in only her third film.
This RKO film, directed by Lowell Sherman and adapted from a stage play by Zoe Akins, is notable since it helped to launch the actress' successful career, and provided her with the first (of four) Best Actress Oscars - the film's only nomination.
This film is in the tradition of other backstage dramas (such as Gregory La Cava's Stage Door (1937)) and tales of unknown actresses rising to stardom (such as William Wellman's A Star is Born (1937)).

Two sequels to "The Work and the Glory" will be filmed back to back over the next few months, which is as much a result of timing as economics, according to the filmmakers.
Also, by shooting the films back-to-back, it is hoped they can each be brought in on a smaller budget, though Miller said he expects the total budget for both films to be "in the ballpark" of the cost of the first film.
The co-writer of the first "Work and the Glory" film was Elder Lund, but he won't be involved in the production of the sequels.

Set in a fictitious country, Woo’s film follows a group of ordinary-looking types who are shepherded by the police as they describe and reenact their terrorist deed to a group of journalists in and around their jungle headquarters.
The film’s incident is not based on any real-life terrorist attack, but Woo’s approach was inspired after seeing photos of suspects of the Bali bombing reenacting their meetings on location, complete with large name tags around their necks.
Shot in a verité style (by award-winning filmmaker James Lee), Woo’s film is an indictment not only of the terrorists but also the corruption of the authorities who pursue them.

Usually I am a pretty big fan of "female assassin" movies, but Black Morning Glory is so boring that I had a hard time watching it, much less having a good time while doing so.
There are a few (and I mean few) action bits sprinkled throughout the movie, but if this film was trying to be a female version of The Killer (or just a good movie in general), it failed miserably.
Black Morning Glory is just mind-numbingly dull from beginning to end, and not really worth anyone's time or money.
