Movie Reviews of Woman of the Year
Movie Review: Katharine and Spencer at their very best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Woman of the Year was the first of nine movies that Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy did together, and, I think, the very best. They are an incredible team and their contrasting temperaments fit each other perfectly!
This movie matches the perfect story with the perfect team! Sam Craig and Tess Harding work for the same newspaper company. He covers sports; she covers the war. So when he overhears a radio program on which she says that American should give up baseball and turn their full attention toward the war effort, a dispute arises in the newspaper between their columns. But when the two of them meet, Sam is immediately drawn to her. He takes her to a baseball game where he tries to explain to her the fundamentals of the sport. As they spend time together a romance blossoms and they get married. Things begin to crumble, though, as Tess struggles to juggle both her demanding career and her marriage.
This movie leaves no doubt why Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy are the incredible team they are!
Movie Review: Silver Screen Magic
Summary: 5 Stars
Talk about sparks! They were flying all over the place between Tracy and Hepburn. For the viewing public it's a definite treat to watch. I think the subject matter of Woman of The Year is still relevant to women of today. It's still a challenge to most women trying to find that balance with career and family-and I am glad that the suggestion of her being Harding-Craig meant that she didn't have to stop being herself. For a minute I was fearful that they were going to have the message that a woman's place was in the kitchen. It does feel a little long in places but overall, it's still a highly entertaining film.
Movie Review: Perfection!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is the best of the Tracy-Hepburn films. It was also the first. It revived their fledgling careers and made them fresh and fun. It is a very romantic film about a woman who acts like a "man" - callous, indifferent, busy away from home, neglectful to her spouse, while the husband, a sports writer, is forced into the woman's role of waiting at home constantly for a spouse who is away, dependent on her attention and lonely most of the time. A wonderful insightful story about the sexes.Movie Review: Woman of the Year
Summary: 5 Stars
This is romance cinema at its best, exposing with subtlety and humor the phenomenon of two people, opposites in every respect, falling head over heels for each other. The issue then becomes figuring out how to make it work. Watching the picture today, it's no surprise that Tracy, a gruff, blocky Irish Midwesterner, and Hepburn, a refined, patrician New England beauty, started their famous romance on this movie, and of course, we in turn fall in love with them.
Movie Review: The love is physcis , the marriage : chemistry !
Summary: 5 Stars
This acid and clever stement comes from Alejandro Dumas and in this case fits so well .
Funny , clever and exhilarating film . This movie deals around the marriage of a nonchalant sport writer and her talented and charming international reporter . And the sitautions are not so far from the modern times . Fundamental work in George Stevens filmography .
Hepburn , shinning as always and Tracy outstanding too .
A "must" see !
