Hepburn was pure sex in this movie


I feel like that statement speaks for itself.

I just finished watching this again, and I couldn't agree with you more. There are posts on this board talking about how annoying her character is, but I can't help feeling attracted to her. I'd forgotten how hot she was in her youth.

shes beautiful

The character is extremely pretty to look at (and would have been more so if the Hays Office hadn't been a bunch of prudes) but that's her only good quality. Beauty can mask evil, as with Cersei Lannister, although that's not a fair analogy because Susan, annoying as she is, doesn't commit war crimes like Cersei does. Maybe it's a testament to Hepburn's acting ability that she can create a character that we can hate but still want to sleep with.

This is a wonderful movie, and Katharine Hepburn is immensely attractive, but I do not agree that she is sexy in this movie.David certainly does not react to her sexually, but that may just be his character.Someone wrote that Susan uses her "feminine wiles" to keep him from going back to New York and getting married. No, she stole his clothes.
