Storyline:And I studied so hard and I graduated with honors, it was all for you....Then won""t ya listen? Please.I""ve loved you ever since I""ve known you.I couldn""t help it.I""ve tried to show it, but you wouldn""t let me.But now I""m going to make you hear it and give me an answer...for I just can""t go on so any longer.I know I""m not half good enough for you.But, well, if you love me, you can make me anything you like.Jo tries to dissuade his romantic intentions: "As hough I""d change you, Laurie.Laurie, you should marry some lovely, accomplished girl who adores you.Someone who would grace your beautiful house.I shouldn""t.I loathe elegant society and you like it.And you hate my scribbling and I can""t get on without it.And we should quarrel...oh yes, we always have, you know...And everything would be so horrid if we were ever foolish enough to (marry)..." - she rejects his proposal and then apologizes: "I can""t.Oh, Laurie, I""m sorry.So desperately sorry...I don""t think I""ll ever marry."Another of the most memorable scenes is Jo""s return to care for her sister Beth (suffering a recurrence of scarlet fever), followed by Beth""s moving death scene.Some time afterwards - left alone by her mother""s death - Anna hides away with her shame in the village of Belden.Set in the 1930s during the Great Depression era, the film""s main concerns (and those of the oppressed Tramp) echo those of millions of people at the time - unemployment, poverty, and hunger.The film received a phenomenal ten Academy Award nominations for a comedy.It won a Best Actress Oscar for its under-experienced British (Belgium-born) actress named Audrey Hepburn - it was her first American film, although she had previously appeared in six European movies (includingLaughter in Paradise (1951, UK),The Lavender Hill Mob (1951, UK), andSecret People (1952, UK)), and on Broadway in an adaptation of Colette""sGigi.
