rather see Greer Carson teamed
with Walter Pidgeon than with any
other actor in Hollywood. Greer
gives the impression of a cultured,

than Greer-and that is important
for good teamwork-is well-dressed,
seems aristocratic and well-man-

were at their best in Mrs. Miniver. -
The Ginger Rogers-Fred Astaire
combination was good for both, and
it made her a star in her own right.
sometimes wonder what sort of
career Ginger would have had if she
had not been teamed with Astaire
II years ago in Flying Down to
Rio" In those days Fred was a big
shot; Ginger had made lots of
movies, mostly bad. The association
with Fred worked fine for Ginger
1t gave her poise, confidence. She
always had character, and when a
chance came to break away and go
it on her own, no one could stop
her. Today, Ginger rates as one of

I certainly miss the team of VIII

did not outgrow each other. The
Thin Man" series outgrew them
With good scripts they might have

Some of the Spencer Tracy-Kath-
arine Hepburn success as a team is
due to Spencer's reply to an opening
remark of Katie's-"Aren't I too tall

Miss Hepburn, always girl to relish
a witty remark, enjoyed working
with Tracy-and it showed on the
