The fastest growing cinema audience is aged 45+. They’re looking for quality films, with great acting and strong characters, as shown by the success of films like Philomena, Gravity and My Week With Marilyn. The female stars of the 1940’s had equal billing with the men, and their dialogue was as filthy,feisty and cutting as their male counterparts, if not more so.
Killer Dialogue bought together a panel of industry experts to look at what makes unforgettable female characters, and how to create them, using classic clips from the 1940s, with films such as The Big Sleep, His Girl Friday, The Philadelphia Story for inspiration.
