    Snappy romantic comedy! There's a reason Tracy and Hepburn were such a famous pair. Their chemistry and delivery of great dialog with plenty of attitude is worth seeing.

  • May 29, 2009
    To be expected--sexist.

    A somewhat strange little feminist film. The joy is watching Hepburn and Tracy act together. The film takes its time and Stevens isn't afraid to make the audience a little uncomfortable. Worth checking out.

    Katharine Hepburn es maravillosa llena la pantalla con su hermosura y talento, esta es una película mas de guerra de sexos divertida pero no particularmente especial
