His partnerships with Hepburn and Holliday are fantastic. Too bad he wasn't there to stop the cut of footage from A Star is Born!<br />Greetings,<br />LeLêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-87042563743686634012012-06-20T23:35:39.009-04:002012-06-20T23:35:39.009-04:00I tend to favor 'Rib' over 'Story'...I tend to favor 'Rib' over 'Story' by a nose because of the presence of Judy Holliday, whom I adore.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-2293149167934606502012-06-20T22:25:46.564-04:002012-06-20T22:25:46.564-04:00Cukor is pretty new to me, but he made so many gre...Cukor is pretty new to me, but he made so many great movies that eventually you have to take notice. And that he worked so much with Hepburn makes me an instant fan. Adam's Rib and Philadelphia Story are both tremendous films. <br /><br />I also had no idea that he was gay, which lends a ton of merit to the article as part of the blog-a-thon.Johnhttp://tdylf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-26810076878105741802012-06-20T11:41:06.544-04:002012-06-20T11:41:06.544-04:00Thank you.
