Leave your thoughts about The Little Minister.
| User ReviewPortia MI Watched it on TCM and thought it was charming--silly in only the way a 1934-Hollywood-worldview can be silly--but otherwise nicely done. And, of course, Hepburn was glorious. |
| User ReviewJames HIt?s a bit too talky and although Katherine Hepburn isn?t bad, it?s not one of her more memorable roles or performances. Good production, fine art direction and costumes. The score is good as well. The story is a little bland and it?s a bit too long. |
| User ReviewGreg WKatharine Hepburn's free spirit is tamed in a light romantic story full of curious Scottish accents. The second half of the film becomes a melodrama as the love story unfolds. |
| User ReviewScott SThe Little Minister (1934) -- [6.0] -- A young minister (John Beal) falls in love with a gypsy (Katharine Hepburn) and begins a village scandal. Hepburn and Beal are fairly matched and the rural setting is lovingly evoked through impressive indoor sets. The story, based on a novel by Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie, doesn't quite break free from the hackneyed cross-class romance mold, but you could do worse for formulaic '30s fare. |
