Quality Street (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quality Street is a 1937 Hollywood movie, made by RKO, directed by George Stevens and produced by Pandro S. Berman. The screenplay was by Allan Scott, Mortimer Offner and Jack Townley, based on the 1901 play by James M. Barrie. The music score was by Roy Webb and the cinematography by Robert De Grasse.
The film stars Katharine Hepburn, Franchot Tone, with Fay Bainter, Eric Blore, Cora Witherspoon and Estelle Winwood. Joan Fontaine makes one of her early (uncredited) film appearances.
There was also a silent film version made by MGM in 1927, starring Marion Davies and Conrad Nagel and directed by Sidney Franklin.
The 1937 version was a flop at the box office, one of several RKO films featuring Hepburn which resulted in her being labeled "box office poison" by a national group of movie exhibitors in 1938.
