The greatest movie ever!

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Dizzy excellent and cute. Lucy always a riot. Wynn a perfect, bumbling drunken fool. Tracy, whom I had seen in "San Francisco" (where he has no woman, but Clark Gable gets the woman), with Hepburn is always an interesting character study. Tracy puts Hepburn in the barn, but that is strangely chauvinistic. That Hepburn puts up with it is puzzling.Yes, Dizzy in the luggage and wearing a gas mask and oxygen tank on his back is sort of cute, yet grotesque and cruel. Hope the dog's handler made a lot of money on this film. I did not like, however, how Hepburn and YES Tracy mercilessly ordered Dizzy to get down off the sofa. Reminded me of movie in which Bonita Granville had two huge great danes named "Get Off the Couch" and "You, Too".I still liked this movie, however. People can marry for lots of reasons, and love is not always the reason. These people supposedly did not "love" each other, but when the old GF(wife?) and new BF show up, sparks start flying -- not the romantic type, but the marital jealousy type.Hepburn should have told Tracy to shove it, and run off with the Spanish guy, who at least paid Hepburn the attention she deserved.Regarding Tracy as being said to be a no-nonsense one-take actor, I feel his -Hepburn roles portrayed him as the ultimate dip-sh#t. He was even nicer in "Father of the Bride", with Elizabeth Taylor. He was extremely nice in the aforementioned "San Francisco". I cannot imagine what the real-life Tracy-Hepburn "romance" was all about. I see her pouring him coffee in these movies, and I wonder if their RL personal relationship was all that great. He comes off as a crude, nonromantic individual overall. Hepburn could have done better.All in all, I was interested in seeing this movie and what it was about. Given the times, strong women were expected to somewhat downplay their independence. I was disappointed that Hepburn only wanted to be Tracy's assistant; she should have been his overlord and master. In today's patois, if she had asked him to marry her, I would have expected her to give him a great big honkin' diamond men's engagement ring, lol.10/10

In Wahington during WWII, a scientist and a rich widow enter into a marriage of convenience. Arguably the least well known of the nine films they co-starred in, Tracy and Hepburn are OK here but the script is nothing special. In fact, it's a rather silly affair about him developing a high altitude oxygen mask for fighter pilots and her becoming his assistant. Ball and Wynn provide some humor, and Grahame has a bit role in just her second film. The script is by the team that wrote "The Philadelphia Story," but the inspiration is lacking. It is directed by someone named Bucquet, who suffered an untimely death soon after making this, his last film.

I liked this film despite not really caring for Katharine Hepburn as an actress. I do, however, like Spencer Tracy. Having not seen (or even aware of) the Broadway play, I have nothing to compare it to. I think that made the film better for me. The plot line moved along well, predictably perhaps. For supporting cast, I was really surprised to see Lucille Ball. She was much better to me playing a more serious character without the slapstick comedy. The ending was pleasing, good to see things all work out between them. My favorite part of the film I would say was the repartee between Hepburn and Tracy's characters, nothing is said directly to each other and yet each knows what the other meant. Fun film, which I enjoyed.

If it wasn't for "Adam's Rib", this film would be my favourite of the Tracy/Hepburn movies. I like the characters they both play, and there's a plus of another plot going on in the background between Lucille Ball and Keenan Wynn. Of course you know what's going to happen by the end but the movie is entertaining and the obviousness doesn't matter. I heard that Tracy wouldn't play in this on stage which seems a shame as he's so good on the screen as the cranky scientist taking up residence in Hepburn's cellar. Hepburn is fabulous as ever and the brittle widow is a perfect part for her. Of course no one who marries in the movies 'without love' stays that way. If they did we wouldn't have had these kind of movies in the golden age of Hollywood!
