One of the 9 famous pairings between Hepburn and Tracy 'Woman of the Year' is a sparkling and quick-witted screwball about 2 sharp journalists on the same newspaper but both with very different views. Tess Harding is a political affairs columnist whilst Sam Craig reports on sport. They met by chance and fall in love. Starting married life together however, Sam realises that Tess's priorities do not seem to involve him as he puts up with continual late night disturbances from Tess's secretary and even his wedding night is spoilt by the arrival of a famous doctor in his marriage boudoir who is intent on conferring with Tess right there and then. He begins to realise if he even wants to be married to such a prestigeous woman.
As with all screwball there are some very funny scenes as well as ones that tug at your heartstrings, but everything always turns out alright.
