Maybe you can figure it out...
"Movie that's been on tcm - ugly duckling gets pretty and there's a ship - what is it?"
Just for the record Kelly knew it. I haven't seen the movie so I didn't know it.
Audrey Hepburn?
In "Sabrina"?
gee Kent...
that fits but no it's not Sabrina.
Funny how I never thought of that while I was sitting there racking my brains.
Sabrina
> that fits but no it's not Sabrina.
Too bad. The gradual evolution of the feminine as presented in popular culture is a rich field of study and "Sabrina" is definitely a waypoint on that route.
hint
A hit song was made in the 1980s about the female lead.
Oh, Bette Davis in "Now, Voyager"
But considering the plot summary, I rather hope not.
>The plot of the film is about the strident efforts of a neurotic child to be liberated from repressive, matriarchal domination. Treatment is successful, owing to care by a psychiatrist (therapy was coming into vogue in the early 40s) and a love affair with a charming, Euro-American married man who already has a wife and children. The film concludes with Charlotte's lavishing of attention on his young, emotionally-unstable teenage daughter Tina (caused by another domineering mother) (an uncredited Janis Wilson) - her motherly love serves as a remote substitute for the couple's own romantically-complicated love. And the film's last stirring line of romantic dialogue has become immortal: "Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars."

Theodore Strauss, a critic for the New York Times observed that "Casey Robinson has created a deliberate and workmanlike script which more than once reaches into troubled emotions. Director Irving Rapper has screened it with frequent effectiveness. But either because of the Hays office or its own spurious logic, [the film] endlessly complicates an essentially simple theme. For all its emotional hair-splitting, it fails to resolve its problems as truthfully as it pretends. In fact, a little more truth would have made the film a good deal shorter ... Although Now, Voyager starts out bravely, it ends exactly where it started — and after two lachrymose hours."[9]
