Quotes
Pat Pemberton:
It was Collier. Never can do anything when he's watching me, it's always been that way.
Mike Conovan:
Why?
Pat Pemberton:
In love with him I guess.
Mike Conovan:
Oh. Like me with lobster.
Pat Pemberton:
What?
Mike Conovan:
Lobster... the one thing I'm nuts about. The one thing that don't agree with me. Like you and him.
Pat Pemberton:
Well, not exactly.
Mike Conovan:
Why?

Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon specifically wrote this screenplay because of Katharine Hepburn's real sports ability.
This is a terrific comedy and a great vehicle for Hepburn and Spencer Tracy....this gives Tracy a chance to play a Brooklyn sports thug. Very funny.
Also, this is a rare chance to see some famous Women golfers of the early 1950's on film...not mention a great performance by Jim Backus.
George Cukor's direction is relaxed and natural.
There's also a funny set-piece with Hepburn having a panic attack during a tennis match.
A great movie.
