Break of Hearts


Break of Hearts is a 1935 RKO film starring Katharine Hepburn and Charles Boyer. The screenplay was written by the team of Sarah Y. Mason and Victor Heerman, with Anthony Veiller, from a story by Lester Cohen, specifically for Hepburn.

Originally Break of Hearts was intended as a vehicle for Hepburn and John Barrymore. The film was promoted by RKOs advertising department with the catch phrase The star of a million moods together with the new idol of the screen. Francis Lederer actually was first signedup lead, but the producers replaced him with Charles Boyer.Writing for The Spectator, Graham Greene praised the acting of Boyer and Hepburn which he described as talented enough to keep some of our interest even in a story of this kind. Concerning Hepburn in particular, Greene noted that she always makes her young women quite horrifyingly lifelike with their girlish intuitions, their intensity, their ideals which destroy the edge of human pleasure. ........
