In 1973, during an interview on the The Dick Cavett Show (1968), Cavett asked Katharine Hepburn if she was sorry she had never acted with Sir Laurence Olivier. With a smile and a laugh, Hepburn replied, "Well, neither of us is dead yet. Even though you may think so." Two years later, Hepburn and Olivier made this movie together.
Sir Laurence Olivier and Katharine Hepburn had been lifelong friends off-screen.
At that time this television movie was first broadcast in 1975, it was the most expensive two-hour movie ever made for television.
Katharine Hepburn and Sir Laurence Olivier were born only ten days apart in 1907. Hepburn was born on May 12, and Olivier on May 22.
The ninth of ten movies Katharine Hepburn made with Director George Cukor, and the first since Pat and Mike (1952).
"Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: And what is your age? Jessica Medlicott: [smiling, nervous and not speaking for several seconds] Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: Did you not hear the question that I asked? Jessica Medlicott: I heard your question. I could not believe that you asked it. Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: Don't you want the jury to know how old you are? Jessica Medlicott: I cannot think that it is any of their business. I don't know their ages, why should they know mine? [continuing smiling while people in the courtroom chuckle] The Judge: Silence! Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: Ah, so you won't say in what year you were born then? Jessica Medlicott: I was born in the year of my birth. Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: I assure you, it's quite customary to tell one's age in the witness box. Jessica Medlicott: And I assure you it is quite incompatable with the civilized behavoir. No gentleman would dream about insisting upon it. Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: I'm sure my learned opponent would agree with you whole-heartedly. How he would like us to believe that all suck things such as birth certificates, eh, should be ignored or even surpressed. Jessica Medlicott: Neither in my case. Merely lost. Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: How lost? In a fire? Jessica Medlicott: In a fire, exactly. Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: And what fire was that, Mrs. Medicott? Jessica Medlicott: Any fire you like."
"Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: Are you dining at home? Druce: Yes, Alice expects me. Here, um, will you come too? Are you free? Sir Arthur Glanville-Jones: My dear boy, I am freedom's prisoner."
