...an interesting if ultimately fruitless collaboration of two of the screen's biggest legends.

Another girl - into - boy picture. Katharine Hepburn is the girl this time who puts on trousers.

Rating: 3/5 --
The earliest and least successful pairing of Hepburn and Grant, Sylvia Scarlett is of interest to their diehard fans but not to many others.

Rating: B --
A peculiar, rather audacious gender-bender tale, with Katharine Hepburn as a man for most of the film, keeping Cary Grant (and us) on his toes.

Interesting, but never really compelling offbeat comedy-drama
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Cukor handles these bizarre plot turns with consummate grace.

Description by OLDIES.com:
When Sylvia Scarlett (Katharine Hepburn) and her father (Edmund Gwenn) must flee France one step ahead of the authorities, she cuts her hair, dons men's clothes and passes herself as Sylvester Scarlett. But while crossing the Channel, jewel smuggler Jimmy Monkley (Cary Grant) rats on her to divert attention away from himself. Narrowly escaping capture, Scarlett and Monkley find themselves cooperating on a heist... and caught in a web of romantic entanglements, only made more complicated by Scarlett's ambiguous sexual identity.
