09/06/2008: "Cary Grant"

"Sylvia Scarlett" was the first film (of 4) that Cary Grant did with Katharine Hepburn. She manages to disguise herself as a boy by, basically, cutting her hair and wearing boy clothes. And everyone is totally amazed (an hour into the movie) when she reveals that she's not a boy. Cary Grant's role was much smaller than hers, which I expect will be pretty much true of all his early-to-mid '30s work.
