Classic Chemistry
The chemistry between Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn is a treat to behold. Few people have the timing, wit and physical abilities of these two and when they are in a scene together you can't take your eyes off of them. The only other male-female team I can think of that work this well together are Woody Allen and Diane Keaton (and if you don't believe me see 'Love and Death' and 'Annie Hall').
Wealthy upper crust Julia Seton (Doris Nolan) falls in love with Johnny (Grant) a middle class man she met on holiday and returns with him to New York to introduce him to her family, including her free spirited sister, Linda (Hepburn). Johnny and Julia soon discover that they are very different sorts of people and Johnny takes comfort in the fun-loving activities of Linda.
One of the first scenes between Grant and Hepburn has her greeting him while snacking on an apple then reaching out and offering him a bite of the same apple with a comfortable ease that goes far beyond the single day their characters have known one another.
Though she might be better known for teaming with Spencer Tracy and he might be famous as the dashing leading man, in the few films they did together there is simply nothing that compares with the magnetism of Grant and Hepburn.
