too sports-focused, maybe?, 17 August 2003
Author: didi-5 from United Kingdom

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn team with director George Cukor again for this romantic comedy set in the sports world. In support are dumb Aldo Ray and slant eyed Charles Bronson (one of the thugs who attacks Tracy and is overcome by sporty Hepburn jumping into the fray).

Perhaps we see too much of Pat's sporting prowess before we cut to the chase - however the leads spar well and have some good lines. I don't feel it is their best, and Tracy wasn't ageing well by this time, but it is a fine swansong from their MGM partnership. Two below-par movies would follow for other studios but their classic stuff was within the decade '42-'52.
