The Three Big Questions:
What’s this one about?
Sports promoter promotes ‘little wifey’ who then blossoms into independent woman and the two live happily ever after.
What makes this movie so great?
Any film featuring Katherine Hepburn is great. Any film featuring Spencer Tracy is great. Any film featuring both of them is magic. The two of them had been making movies for a decade by the time they filmed this one, and it shows. As smooth a chemistry as there ever was. Probably smoother than their real-life love affair. And while on the face of it, films like these seem very traditional and stereotype enforcing, and therefore rather dated, it could still be said that this is a feminist film about a woman unshackling and fulfilling her potential and making her own life choices.
Should You Watch It?
Duh, of course you should!
