I Do and I Don't

I Do and I Don't è il titolo di un libro di Jeanine Basinger sulla storia dei matrimoni al cinema, edito da Knopf. "Romance movies may demand chemistry, but movies about marriage demand something more difficult to create — a sense that a couple are simpatico, that however much they may bicker and snipe, their deep understanding and feeling for each other will ultimately keep them together" ... Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy worked so well as a married couple not just because they were known to be an off-screen pair, but because, as Basinger explains, they “generated a sense of incompatibility, competition, class difference and underlying tension.” Beyond attraction, there was respect: each saw the other as the most interesting person in the room.. nyt.
