This Can’t Be Love ** (1994, Katharine Hepburn, Anthony Quinn, Jason Bateman, Jami Gertz) – Classic Movie Review 10,373

Director Anthony Harvey’s entertaining enough 1994 made-for-TV drama This Can’t Be Love stars the good and true Katharine Hepburn and Anthony Quinn, who do it one more time as ancient film stars with some fire still in them when they meet again half a century on.

Also in the cast are Jason Bateman, Jami Gertz, Maxine Miller and Michael Feinstein.

It is a shame that this is the only time Hepburn and Quinn worked together, as they work well together, even hampered by an only moderate script by Duane Poole.

Hepburn said it would be her final film but she appeared in two more, in the same year: Love Affair and One Christmas.

Anthony Harvey also directed Hepburn in The Lion in Winter, The Glass Menagerie and Grace Quigley.
