Valentine Brown (Franchot Tone, L) and Phoebe Throssel (Katharine Hepburn), in “Quality Street.” (RKO Radio Pictures)
After recently reviewing the great Katharine Hepburn in “Holiday” (1938), I was looking forward to seeing another movie starring her. “Quality Street,” produced a year earlier in 1937, is a well-paced, entertaining 1 hour and 23-minute affair, even though it was a financial failure at the time. 
The film was a box-office disaster, with Hepburn being dubbed “box office poison” during her time with RKO Radio Pictures. Many critics felt that she had turned things around with her performance in “Holiday,” although it wasn’t commercially successful either….
