Woman of the Year


Woman of the Year

Customer Review: Silver Screen Magic
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 woman's place was in the kitchen. It does feel a little long in places but overall, it's still a highly entertaining film.
Customer Review: Perfection!
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.
