Certainly an intriguing concept-a Runyonesque story about a shady sports promoter who finds a female athlete and decides he can make her a big sports star and a moneymaker for himself, except that she only plays well when her domineering fiancée is not around. She turns out to be rebellious if either her fiancée or her promoter push her around too much. And there is good chemistry and interaction between the leads. Yet the movie has its faults too, namely being too long for what it is, with sports sequences that go one for longer than they need to, and the rather pointless inclusion of the boxer the promoter also has under his wing. Also, though the movie is presumably a comedy, it has few laughs in it. The movie tries, but it never quite satisfies in the end.

Anything combining Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Ruth

Anything combining Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, and George Cukor can't be anything less than wonderful. Although Adam's Rib is my favourite of the Hepburn & Tracy pairings, Pat and Mike is fizzing with the snappy banter and electric, yet easy chemistry of its stars. Although many classic romantic comedies can make a feminist cringe with their outdated ideas of the little woman, Pat and Mike, and especially the mould-breaking Hepburn, challenges some of that. Pat proudly wears trousers (watch your language in calling them pants, darling) and is an athletic star - mastering several sports at top levels with just natural ability. The triumph is when she trades in her domineering, traditional beau Collier (William Ching) for her gruff, but sentimental manager Mike. Tracy is wonderful in the role - I love his rough Bronx humour paired with the vulnerability of finding such a glorious woman in Hepburn. Their chemistry is legendary for a reason, their strong personalities would seemingly clash, but instead there is an ease and comfort of meeing their match - or as Mike would say "5-Oh, 5-Oh". Never has stretching after a workout been so sexy. It's a film in which you will find yourself grinning like a lovebird.
