If anything, watch this movie for the treasure that it holds within it: the first on-screen pairing of the immortal team of Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. However, that is the one and only reason TO watch this George Stevens classic bomb of a film. The script was very dull and stilted, and yet the best part about the film was Katherine Hepburn herself. She simply lights up any scene that she appears in. Overall, this film is a definitive social commentary on the times in which it was made: the early 1940's.
This film was nominated for two Academy Awards. Katherine Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress (but lost to Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver) and won for Best Original Screenplay, though I can't understand why.
My rating: 1 star
