Directed by George Cukor, it was notorious as one of the most famous unsuccessful movies of the 1930s. Hepburn plays the title role of Sylvia Scarlett, a female con artist masquerading as a boy to escape the police. The success of the subterfuge is in large part due to the transformation of Hepburn by RKO makeup artist Mel Berns. ## Credits - **Director:** [George Cukor](https://cinepixo.com/people/george-cukor) - **Screenplay:** [John Collier](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-collier) - **Original Music Composer:** [Roy Webb](https://cinepixo.com/people/roy-webb) - **Producer:** [Pandro S.
