Summary: Tracy and Hepburn At Their Best!
Comment: This is a great collection to watch and to own. Two are my some of my favorite movies of all time, one is good and pleasant, and there is an interesting documentary to watch as well. Woman of the Year and Adam's Rib are just wonderful movies. Woman of the Year carries a depth and resonance of truth in its story while trying to carry its two protagonists to a place where they can reconcile and meet each other half way. A woman lives for politics and influence in the world while a man lives for a good ball game and the enjoyment of writing about it, where can these two ever get together? Of course, its the woman who ends up coming down to Earth but the man says it's Ok if she's up there some of the time!
Adam's Rib is a slapstick funny movie about two married lawyers who are fighting on opposite sides of a case. The husband takes it on the basis of simple facts and law, the wife takes the case on as the second class status of women everywhere. Who's right and who's wrong?
Pat and Mike is an interesting movie that grows on you and is very pleasant but you can't expect it to be the same as the other two. It isn't as good but has a completely different tone which can throw viewers off. Pat is a all around sports woman, Mike becomes her sports promoter and Pat has Aldo Ray as a boyfriend who doesn't seem to make her feel comfortable when she plays. Who is the right man for her?
The documentary is interesting as a production by Katherine Hepburn in a tribute to Spencer Tracy. Done completely in video tape except for film clips, it seems a bit low budget and was shown on public television. It is valuable as a way to see actors as they once were, hear Hepburn's version of the story and learn more about Spencer Tracy. I was glad to add it to my collection. This is a very enjoyable set of films.

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy: The Signature Collection. The films included are Woman of the Year, Pat and Mike, Adam's Rib and The Spencer Tracy Legacy. Woman of the Year (1942) was the first collaboration between Hepburn and Tracy, and you can see why it was the spark that ignited the flame that lasted 25 years, in this classic battle of the sexes. In Adam's Rib (1949), the duo are back at it again, except this time they are in the courtroom battling it out as two married lawyers - on opposite sides of a case! Pat and Mike (1952) was George Cukor's eighth and final collaboration with Katharine Hepburn, but this magnificent film about the improbable relationship between a female golfer and a sports promoter was a movie that proved to be ahead of its time in terms of sexual politics, and earned the production two Academy Award? Nominations: Best Story and Best Screenplay. For the first time on DVD and sold exclusively in this collection is the very special The Spencer Tracy Legacy: A Tribute by Katharine Hepburn (1986) in which Katharine Hepburn looks back on the life of her former co-star and best friend, Spencer Tracy, in a touching and insightful look at one of the great American actors.
