Mrs. Delafield Wants To Marry (1986)

After she survives a critical illness, an elderly but wealthy widow (Katharine Hepburn) falls in love with her Jewish doctor (Harold Gould). When the question of marriage comes into play, the adult children from both sides conspire to break up the relationship due to greed, bigotry and societal conventions. Directed by George Schaefer (DOCTORS WIVES), this tale of late in life love yields up no surprises. You pretty much know where it's going and it's really rather simplistic. After vehemently opposing the marriage, the adult children seem to capitulate rather easily. I mean if only one had at least refused to attend the wedding but everybody falls into line for the happy ending. By this stage of her career, Katharine Hepburn had become rather insufferable as an actress in her post LION IN WINTER career (LOVE AMONG THE RUINS being an exception) and it's only our good will toward her cinematic history that allows us to give her a pass. Hepburn fans will eat it up however. With Denholm Elliott, David Ogden Stiers and Bibi Besch.
