Kirpianuscus for me, the best romantic film ever. or, maybe, the standard of romantic films. smart, amusing, magnificent scene by scene, it is a revelation at each new show. not surprising, because it is the expected duel between two great actors and the right translation of the chemistry between them. and this does the film to be more than a remarkable one. because it remains the standard of a genre who gives more than touching scenes and amusing scenes but a perfect story, impeccable performance and fine irony.

dwpollar 1st watched 5/14/2014 -- 7 out of 10(Dir-George Cukor): Entertaining and thought provoking comedy from George Cukor with two very likable stars in Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. The story is about a husband and wife lawyer team who pickup opposing sides of a case where a woman catches her husband with another woman and shoots him. The point that Hepburn's character is trying to make is that she was defending the honor of her family and the children, and intends to make the case about treating a woman as an equal to a man. This was made in an era where this had to be controversial, but there is enough light comedy to help make it entertaining and not just a hardline stand on the subject. Tracy's character becomes offended by his wife's court outbursts and temporarily leaves her. Don't fret though -- it's a Hollywood movie so you can guess that they're might possibly be a happy ending. The interesting thing about this movie is that although it's labeled as a comedy it actually does a very good job of displaying the two sides of views for equality for women. In my opinion, that is what puts this movie above other comedies -- yes it's whimsical, but the writing shows men acting like women -- women acting like men -- and even one male character who acts like a woman but seems to still like women from a romantic perspective -- so there is a good mix for the viewer to mull over. The deliberateness in the portrayals towards this subject surprised me and was welcomed. This is kind of a pre-television sitcom-like directed movie on it's look but has a lot more to offer. Give this one a chance -- you will be pleasantly surprised by this classic movie, and it's amazingly still applicable storyline for today's audiences.

Gerardrobertson61 What a sheer delight it was to watch this movie, and I cannot understand why I have not watched it before. The chemistry between Tracy and Hepburn is clearly shown in this comedy and the banter made me smile for the whole duration of the movie. I am now keen to watch the other 8 or so movies that these two classic actors have made together, something that I have surprisingly not thought of before, given my love of the movies of the 40's and 50's. I am not going to review the story, all I am going to say is that this was one of the most enjoyable movies I have watched recently from this era, and I will be definitely adding this to my movie collection. Loved it.
