Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Unlike almost any of her prior films, Hepburn is determined to show that she has "feminine" sexuality that can appeal to men and women alike (not just androgynous sexuality). In this scene, Hepburn is the object of every male (and possibly female) sexual gaze. In the 1940s, there was simply no more iconic "sexual" image of a woman than her sensual fingers moving up or down the length of her stockings.
