There's no doubt that Tracy and Hepburn are the best male/female film duo of all time. They had chemistry like Doritos and an Ice cold glass of Milk. This film I must say wasn't even close to their best offerings.
Right off the bat, within the first 5 minutes, we go from her fiancé' wants her to throw a golf match so the other couple will finance a wing to a school or sumthin. Immediately after this we get her involved in a golf tournament and she wants to prove herself. Hepburn is so manic throughout this film it starts to get irritating after a while. I mean she's so confident about her sporting skills but when her fiancé' shows up she's a mess. How bout telling him to buzz off? By the time this film was made Hepburn was well into her 40's, she was no spring chicken so for me or anyone to believe she was winning one tennis match after another lacks a bit of credibility.
Obviously the studios knew this would be a winner because of the success of their earlier films but this one, your better off with State of the Union or Woman of the Year or even Desk Set. This one was just, for lack of a better word,....flat.
