Him and Kathleen Hepburn were like the ocean and the shore.
What a list of movies they've done together:
Woman of the Year (1942)
Keeper of the Flame (1943)
Without Love (1945)
The Sea of Grass (1947)
State of the Union (1948)
Adam's Rib (1949)
Pat and Mike (1952)
Desk Set (1957)
and
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)
You could pop any of the movies on nowadays and folk would think they were progressive. 70 years ago and the world was already being made more fair and equal via Hollywood - what happened? (Clue, it was the 90's).
