This article is part of a ten part series called “The 3 Film Series.” What does that mean? Well it means that I will be taking an actor and actress and take three films from each of their careers. Now that means for the reader that these are fun little guides to use. So stay with the series to see who is on the list and what films make it, I know you won’t be bored!
Alain Delon is the leading man and Katharine Hepburn is playing the leading lady for the first article.
Alain Delon
1. Le Samourai
I talk about this film a lot; it’s a habit to pick this film. Delon plays a cool cunning hit man until a misstep because of a witness. Now he has a detective and the men who paid him for the hit after him. What you really have to know is it’s a 5 star picture!
2. Purple Noon
Purple Noon, is a French film that takes Patricia Highsmith’s book The Talented Mr. Ripley and goes with it. Delon is Tom Ripley and those who are aware of the character know what kind of person Ripley is, he’s a con artist, a very smart man and a killer.
3. Scorpio
Scorpio is a spy thriller that also starred Burt Lancaster and is about two agent friends and how one has orders to kill the other. It’s a good gritty spy story that is gripping especially at the end.
Now for the leading lady,
Katharine Hepburn
1. Lion in the Winter
If you thought your family is strange go back in the Middle Ages and meet King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine’s family. You have their three sons, bratty John, forgotten middle child Geoffrey and the broody, mom’s favorite Richard. It’s a great film and Hepburn shines as the crazed but smart Queen. The witty banter makes the film also.
2. Bringing up Baby
Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant had great chemistry in this comedy that still is funny after all these years. Hepburn played an oddball heiress who loves the soon to be married Grant and will do anything to keep him near her.
3. Adam’s Rib
Tensions arise between a husband and wife lawyers who are opposing each other because of a case about a woman shooting her husband in the arm. Spencer Tracy and Hepburn star together in this film that you could say is a comedy about the battle of the sexes.
So that is the starting of a new article series and I hope that you stay with it till the end to see who gets matched. It’s a fun way to explore the films between actors and actresses and also for beginner fans to learn a little more about the films and the players who were in the classics. In the near future there will be a director series.
