About the grand bumpy romance between a meat-and-potatoes sportswriter and a world-renowned political pundit. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/07/2004 Starring: Spencer Tracy Katharine Hepburn Run time: 114 minutes Rating: Nr
Amazon.com essential video:
The first film starring the legendary screen team of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, this savvy dramatic comedy from 1942 plays off the unlikely match of polar opposites--the brash sports reporter Sam Craig (Tracy) and the brilliant political commentator Tess Harding (Hepburn) from the New York Chronicle--whose marriage grabs front-page headlines. Balancing her flashy career with marital bliss turns out to be a complicated challenge for the worldly Tess, whose down-to-earth husband struggles to support her ambition while keeping their marriage from falling apart. Though some of its sexual politics are sure to seem outdated, this sparkling comedy is still relevant to today's demanding professional lifestyles, and the Hepburn-Tracy chemistry is a wonder to behold in some of their all-time favorite scenes. Woman of the Year was gracefully directed by George Stevens, from a screenplay by Ring Lardner Jr. and Michael Kanin. --Jeff Shannon

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 ... Read More

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. ... Read More

Everything you've heard about WOMAN OF THE YEAR is true. This was the first pairing of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and, yes, the chemistry IS evident. Michael Kanin and Ring Lardner's script is intelligent and the dialogue is snappy for the most part. It does touch lightly on "issues of the day" (the war, obviously--and of course, the proverbial "battle of the sexes," the subtext of just about EVERY Tracy-Hepburn film ever made). And,yes, the baseball scene is pretty darn great.

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 ... Read More

The title of my review is in reference to the beginning of the relationship (onscreen and off) between Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. WOMAN OF THE YEAR was the first of nine films that the pair acted in together. You can feel their chemistry from the opening frames of the film all the way to the end. These actors were truly a class act together and a very hard act to follow. Between Katherine Hepburn's purring delivery of her lines and Spencer Tracy's staunch presence, the two had a very special ... Read More
