Hepburn and Mitchum were mismatched in real life and both were cast against type ,adding to the confusion. I love this film but this is a problem, having Hepburn play a Teresa Wright type tomboy girl and Mitchum an artistic boy with sensitive ways.
Hepburn made a film with Bob Hope called Iron Petticoat . It's a Cold War comedy so terrible it must be seen to be believed.

Ben Hecht, 1958 interview with Mike Wallace: You see a movie begins like most things with an idea and then it turns out that the inventor of the idea who was usually the writer is a stowaway. He has the privileges of a stowaway. He has no powers to assert himself and about ten or fifteen villains including his own incompetence usually corrupts that he – the reason he thought of – in this particular case, “The Iron Petticoat,” the corruption came through the recutting of the movie and the movie was written for a lady, Miss Katherine Hepburn, and ended up instead as a role for the hero, Mr. Bob Hope, Miss Hepburn was removed from in by fifty percent. I got irritated and took my name off it – it had nothing to do with the movie I wrote.

This one never felt quite right to me. Still like the movie, though.

That's really the point, that they are seemingly so mismatched yet end up together anyway I definitely felt Hepburn had more chemistry with Bogart than Gary Cooper FWIW Bogie didn't much care for AH off camera. When asked his opinion of her he replied she was "alright, if you don't mind a dozen takes."

Wait. I never saw your Elvis movie. Please don't tell me that Elvis and Elsa end up together. I don't think I could process that thought.

At first glance Deborah Kerr and Robert Mitchum would perhaps seem to be a mis-match and yet they made four appearances together. "Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" (1957), "The Sundowners" (1960), "The Grass is Greener" (1960) and "Reunion in Fairborough" (TV 1985).
I found the first two quite enjoyable.
RE: Elvis and Elsa . Wonderful clip. Thanks. Had never seen that one before.

Have you seen Mitchum as the bohemian painter in The Locket? Or perhaps my favorite -- as a Tulane professor in My Forbidden Past

Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, I remember I was very dissapointed at that movie. I don't know how to explain it, maybe too stage bound, and not funny enough. But at least they made an interesting movie out of the meeting a couple of years ago....

LOL Yes I've seen that The Iron Petticoat (a Ninotchka variation), a comedy without laughs ain't no comedy, sadly a long boredom, but at least it was in color.

Bette Davis and Jim Davis in Winter Meeting (1948) Knowing now that Jim Davis spent most of his acting life in, what could it be called, "dime-a-dozen" westerns and late in life became Jock on Dallas, if I am correct he was actually "hand picked" by Bette to be a co-sar in this movie that I have never seen.

Wonderful clip. Thanks. Had never seen that one before. Deb and Bob actually worked well together, at the time they were casting The Sundowners, Bob didn't wan't to go to Australia, and asked who is co-star gonna be, and learning it was was going to be Deb. According to legend He said "I'll do anything with her, even beeing billed below her". They apparently became good friends in real life too...

I've only seen a few moments of it, long long ago. Davis (Jim) is pretty bad, and the script is even worse. Fortunately JD was able to retrench into western character work -- I recently saw a Tales Of Wells Fargo where he was very effective as a sympathetic outlaw. And of course he had the late-in-life triumph of Dallas:

Bob and Kate, different styles, is it worth a peek? It's passable as time killer on a rainy Sunday afternoon. As previously mentioned it's most notable for their odd casting. KH seems completely wrong as a naive woman-in-danger.
