"Sylvia (Sylvester) Scarlett" - 1936 Bomb about Transgenders with K. Hepburn and C. Grant; also Astaire and Rogers reversed couple footage
Let's find some select quotes from the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Scarlett
"Sylvia Scarlett is a 1935 romantic comedy film starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, based on The Early Life and Adventures of Sylvia Scarlett, a novel by Compton MacKenzie. Directed by George Cukor, it was notorious as one of the most famous unsuccessful movies of the 1930s."
Why did I pick that quote? Was it truly "unsuccessful"? What was the barometer that determined that this movie was indeed unsuccessful? After all, it seems that financial success was not the primary aim of this film, as The Pawnbroker was used to destroy the morals of America, is it possible that this was merely a precursor towards that end?
Let's see what else tells the true story:
"After a disastrous test screening, Cukor and Hepburn reportedly begged producer Pandro Berman to shelve the picture if they agreed to make their next film for free. According to RKO records, the film lost a whopping $363,000, and thus began a downturn in Hepburn's career (causing her to be branded "box office poison") from which she would eventually recover. A Turner Classic Movies article suggested that the film's themes of sexual politics were ahead of its time and that the film's reception has improved over the years."
Whenever I see such verbiage, it's an attempt to obfuscate motives. It's fairly obvious that everyone involved knew exactly what the aims of this film were.
If we are to assume that the transsexual agenda has been afoot ever since the first theatre production took place, we must consider the possibilities of Katharine Hepburn being an MTF, and Cary Grant an FTM.
Remember the classic line by W. C. Fields?

Hollywood has made you and I the "suckers"...but I have divested with the Idiot Box, and I'm hoping you'll all join me.
