An Original Vintage Theatrical Danish Movie Program (measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" [14 x 20 cm]; 10 pages) (Learn More) Christopher Strong, the 1933 Dorothy Arzner airplane aviation infidelity romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the novel by Gilbert Frankau"; about a famous female aviatrix who has an affair with a married English Parliament member) starring Katharine Hepburn (in her second film), Colin Clive (in the title role as Sir Christopher Strong), Billie Burke, Helen Chandler, and Ralph Forbes. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.
