Description
Contains a famous scene in which Katharine Hepburn as an ambitious young actress makes something of a spectacle of herself reciting the "To be or not to be" soliloquy at a party attended mainly by stuffed shirts. Needless to say she is the only interesting thing at the party and her rendition of Hamlet's soliloquy is superb. It's too bad that she could not have joined the ranks of other distinguished women Hamlets, such as Asta Nielsen, Sarah Bernhardt and Judith Anderson
