Viewing Notes

I’ve been meaning to watch this again for quite a while and finally did on a cold, snowy spring night. Great to revisit. The performances by Hepburn and Bogart are great; they act well together. While I’ve always loved Bogart in this, I paid particular attention to Hepburn’s character throughout.
