December 19 movie: Morning Glory. Katharine Hepburn plays a naive ingenue full of misconceptions about the theater, struggling to make it as an actress in New York. Several theater bigwigs take her under their wing and give her all the breaks they can, but she still fails because she's a terrible actress. Until the very end when she magically becomes the greatest star the stage has ever seen. Blah, blah, blah. This movie really annoyed me. I think Hepburn's naivete was supposed to be quirky and endearing but I found the character insufferably pretentious. I think I watched too many movies last weekend.
