Favorite Scene/Moment?

yeah that was good,,i like the scene,were john's mother tell's. joanna's father(ST) that her husbond and he are burnt out..and cant remmember how to love!..and the scene were they art trying to tell(ST) that john is something special to joanna

ijones - totally love that whole scene, it just cements Katharine Hepburn as a remarkable screen presence for all time. I'd also include when she re-enters the house just after shooing Hillary down the driveway, and Joey says something to the effect of "Mom, you should really get rid of Hillary - she was being an absolute bitch!" Kate acts so shocked at her daughter's coarse language, knowing full well Hillary's been canned. Classic Hepburn is right.

The scene with "Christina" and "Hillary" is also my favorite. I can really relate to that, having been through similar scenes like that myself! My son just happens to be gay, You really find out who your freinds, and who your family are after you`ve been through a few of those scenes!

My favorite was when the delivery boy comes to the door with the steaks (actually, dances to the door!), and the gorgeous black maid Dorothy asks for a ride into town, and they dance all the way to the van!

Tillie threatening John. Absolutely hilarious! And of course any scene with Cecil Kellaway.

As the saying goes... the time to make up your mind about people is never

Hands down my favorite humorous scene. I love that she never breaks when she tells Hilary to start the car. I also like all of the scenes with Bea Richards. So understated but you see all the emotion in her face and hear it in her voice. Just lovely.

Mine is the very last scene. Tracy is saying if they love each other half as much as he and Christina loved each other, they will have no problem. There is this one shot where Tracy stops and looks at Hepburn. She is crying. They were not acting. Everyone knew this would be Tracy's last movie. Stanley Kramer had to shoot two films concurrently because Tracy only had enough energy for a few hours a day. They were afraid he might die before they finished it. As it was, he died 17 days after they wrapped. I don't know if they shot in sequence, I think not, but I do think this was Tracy's last scene. When he looked at Hepburn, you see the 16 years that they worked and loved together flashing before his eyes and it was heartbreaking to Hepburn. It's rare when a movie scene is actually being played out in real life too.
