As I have always been a fan of Spencer Tracy, I thought it would be good to sit through one of his old works....big mistake! This movie has not met the test of time (as many have!), and if it were not for good old Joan Blondell, I may not have watched it all the way through. Unfortunately, as great an actress Katharine Hepburn was, this clearly was not her brightest hour. She seemed to be anxious to look after Spencer rather than act, and some of her prolonged rantings were too much. There were some good individual scenes, but they were far apart. Gig Young played his usual role of the other man competently, while it was good to see Dina Merrill in a fun mood. Not worth commenting on the story which has been done before and better.
