Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5081040, member: 44"] I actually think of Bringing up Baby cemented that belief since it was a box office bomb. I think she was a big Broadway star, but for whatever reason, it didn't translate immediately to the big screen. Part of that may have been the characters that she played. Spoiled characters of privilege may not have resonated with the public at the tail end of the Great Depression. Later on where she played tough as nails working woman, she may have been more easy to identify with. I'm just speculating. For reason, I don't enjoy some of the more famous movies with that character as much. I want to like her movies with Spencer Tracy, such as Adam's Rib or Desk Set but I really don't feel the chemistry. Obviously, that's a me thing, since they were hugely popular at the time. [/QUOTE]
