A seriously underrated movie

I have always been very obsessed with Hepburn, and I have seen some Hepburn movies. Although there are not many works, each one has a different presentation.

I think My Fair Lady is the pinnacle of Hepburn's performance. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is good, but it really can't be called a masterpiece. "Roman Holiday" can only be said to be God's food. In Hepburn, when he was not fully mature, he gave him a natural role.

Let's talk about "Stealing the Dragon and Turning the Phoenix", I think Hepburn has shown the state he should have. According to the current perspective, there are some flaws, but at the time, it should be regarded as a relatively good performance.

This play is very complete in terms of plot, content, and structure.

After I read it, the only thing that I think is insufficient is that the actor did not achieve a kind of communication with Hepburn, and it was a bit blunt.

And Hepburn's side, especially the scene where she wiped off the fingerprints on the frame, was too vivid. The helplessness, nervousness, hilarity, sketches and cuteness shown in the later stage are all very good.

At that time, there were very few films of the same type. If it entered the big market early, I believe it would be more classic.
