Escaping to England from a French embezzlement charge, widower Henry Scarlett is accompanied by daughter Sylvia who, to avoid detection, "disguises" herself as a boy, "Sylvester." They are joined by amiable con man Jimmy Monkley, then, after a brief career in crime, meet Maudie Tilt, a giddy, sexy Cockney housemaid who joins them in the new venture of entertaining at resort towns from a caravan. Through all this, amazingly no one recognizes that Sylvia is not a boy...until she meets handsome artist Michael Fane, and drama intrudes on the comedy.
Leave your thoughts about Sylvia Scarlett.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA peculiar, rather audacious gender-bender tale, with Katharine Hepburn as a man for most of the film, keeping Cary Grant (and us) on his toes. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzGrant gives one of his most energetic and best film performances ever. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonCukor handles these bizarre plot turns with consummate grace. |
| User ReviewWill MI don't understand the negative comments. This is a very complicated, fascinating movie. |
| User ReviewMaggie F~~~CARY GRANT~~~ ~~THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW!!~~~ |
| User ReviewRuth LKatharine Hepburn and Cary Grant's first film together. And it's a great one. A flop in its time (probably for being both a bit off beat, and controversial) it became a cult classic in later years, and it really shows Hepburn and Grant at the finest, and in the hands of one of old Hollywood's most underrated directors, George Cukor. It's a bit quirky, and some how feels slightly awkward in it's execution. But a thoroughly enjoyable movie none the less. |
| User ReviewJosè MIn single words:Hepburn,Katharine Hepburn.Check it. |
| User ReviewLizzie TA rare find and one of the greatest Hepburn movies. A delightful comedy from George Cukor. |
| User ReviewChrisanne SUniquely controversial for the 30's but Hepburn does a spectacular job at imitating a boy-- I totally forgot until she revealed her disguise. |
| User ReviewAlessandra CIncantevole e tenero, con una grande Katherine Hepburn giovanissima, en travesti per buona parte del film |
