Quiz
Though Bette Davis won the 1935 Academy Award/Oscar for Paura d'amare (1935) beating out Katharine Hepburn in Primo amore (1935), Davis was noted for saying more than once that she didn't deserve the award that year and that the one who did was Katharine Hepburn.

Blooper
When Alice walks with Arthur toward her house for the first time, a woman watering her shrubs can be seen and a letter carrier walks up, then back down her porch steps twice. The background scene repeats itself, letter carrier, woman setting down hose, etc. The letter carrier approaches Alice moments later where she then has to shamefully admit to Arthur that this is, indeed, her house that she is in front of. Likely a rear projection scene that was duplicated.

Citazioni
Mrs. Adams: Malena fell down the cellar stairs!
Virgil Adams: Did she break any of our things?

Alice Tries To Get A Fellow

Showing her versatility Katharine Hepburn gets her best part since her Oscar winning Morning Glory in the title role of Alice Adams. Alice and Eva Lovelace are worlds apart. Eva leaves her small town in search of fame and fortune in the theater. But poor Alice just wants to compete with the rest of the girls in her midwest Indiana small town that Booth Tarkington wrote about and land a real Prince Charming of a fellow.

The Prince shows up at a dance she goes to in the person of Fred MacMurray. She's taken with him, but she's ashamed of her family's rather humble living condition. When MacMurray does come calling they have a family dinner that turns into a real disaster.

Kate got one of her Oscar nominations for her role and MacMurray also gets one of his best early film parts as well. Kate's family is also nicely cast with Ann Shoemaker, Frank Albertson, and especially Fred Stone filling out the roles of mother, brother, and father. I do kind of feel sorry for Stone, he's really put upon by his family. In today's world Ann Shoemaker would have gone out and gotten a second job for another income, back then that would have been unthinkable.

Alice Adams is a nice nostalgic trip by Booth Tarkington into the lives and mores of small town Indiana. This film was also George Stevens's first major film and he'd work with Kate again in Woman of the Year.
