Research And Planning: 1940's Film - 'The Philadelphia Story'

'The Philadelphia Story'

Another one of my chosen 1940's film is 'The Philadelphia Story'.

This poster (like 'to have and have not) has the 'artistic' drawn effect. Again I believe this will work well with the narrative which our group has chosen. The colour of the font also relates to the genre which is romance. The names of the actors is one of the main stand-out features of the poster. They are also very bold and only last names are used. This is because they were the 'stars' of their time. It is unlikely that I will use this on my own poster as the actors I use will be unknown.

The scene I have chosen for 'The Philadelphia Story' shows the two characters having a disagreement over who the woman should marry. The female character (Hepburn) seems like a very confident and willing woman. I would like our 1940's character to act in a similar way. Hepbur's character also acts likea typical woman of her time and once she realises she is speaking out of place she begins to talking about 'feminine' things such as flowers.
