Description

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy: The Signature Collection. The films included are Woman of the Year, Pat and Mike, Adam's Rib and The Spencer Tracy Legacy. Woman of the Year (1942) was the first collaboration between Hepburn and Tracy, and you can see why it was the spark that ignited the flame that lasted 25 years, in this classic battle of the sexes. In Adam's Rib (1949), the duo are back at it again, except this time they are in the courtroom battling it out as two married lawyers - on opposite sides of a case! Pat and Mike (1952) was George Cukor's eighth and final collaboration with Katharine Hepburn, but this magnificent film about the improbable relationship between a female golfer and a sports promoter was a movie that proved to be ahead of its time in terms of sexual politics, and earned the production two Academy Award? Nominations: Best Story and Best Screenplay. For the first time on DVD and sold exclusively in this collection is the very special The Spencer Tracy Legacy: A Tribute by Katharine Hepburn (1986) in which Katharine Hepburn looks back on the life of her former co-star and best friend, Spencer Tracy, in a touching and insightful look at one of the great American actors.

Tracy and Hepburn - What a Duo.......2007-03-18

I love their movies together. This is a wonderful gift for a true fan.

A Must See...........2007-03-12

No relationship could transcend to the screen better than that of the Tracy / Hepburn duo. This collection has three times the magic with three of their best movies including the extraordinary bonus DVD for your viewing pleasure.

Two of the best actors, three of their best films.......2007-02-01

It goes without saying that Katharine Hepburn is probably the greatest actress that graced the screen. At least, in my opinion she is.
Spencer Tracy was also a brilliant actor. Without doubt one of the best in history also.

Any fan of one or the other, is most likely a fan of them both, as their 9 terrific films together provide is with one of the greatest Hollywood duos of all time, and truly an affair to remember.

This collection, containing three of their finest films, is a very good buy.

First off, Woman Of The Year, their first film together. Director George Stevens (who had directed Hepburn earlier in Alice Adams), does a masterful job, as do writers Ring Lardner, Jr. and Michael Kanin (from whom Hepburn got the script and went to Louis B. Mayer, head of MGM, and demanded Tracy as her leading man, and Stevens as her director. She had tried and failed to get Tracy once for The Philadelphia Story, having always been a fan, but succeeded in her second attempt...lucky us). The finished film is a perfect balance: beautiful dramatic edge, in parts- highly amusing, and also one of the most moving romances I've seen. It never gets sappy. Its real. And totally unique. The tale of a sports writer, Sam Craig (Tracy) and political columnist, Tess Harding (Hepburn) at the same paper who in their respective columns rag on each other, but soon meet and become rather smitten. They marry, but married life doesn't really bring quite the happiness they thought it would, as certain party's don't put marriage before career...

Adam's Rib. The duos sixth film together, another great film. Similarly to Woman of The Year, this film has perfect blend of drama, comedy and romance. Tracy and Hepburn play married lawyers. Adam Bonner (Tracy), the district attorney is assigned the case of prosecuting a woman, Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday) who tried to shoot her husband when she found out he was having an affair. The issues involved with the case is something his wife, Amanda (Hepburn) feels very strongly about, and she chases the case herself, defending Attinger in court. As the trial gains momentum, the Bonner's bring the court tension home, and the husband and wife antics into court, as the battle for equal rights between men and women rages.
Truly a fine piece of work, George Cukor (one of the great Hollywood directors with many a classic to his name, that is often sadly over looked) has a divine knack for making first class romantic comedies, see for example, earlier work with Hepburn, The Philadelphia Story. Added to the craft of Cukor, a fine script by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, this film ends up a true classic.

Pat & Mike, one of Hepburn & Tracy's most popular films, it makes fine use of Hepburn's talents in other areas: sport. Tennis: she held her own. Golf: played a good game.
Tracy plays Mike Conovan, a smooth talking sports promoter, who believes Pat Pemberton (Hepburn) has huge potential as an all 'round athlete. Signing her, he takes her to pro golf and tennis tournaments, and Pemberton fares well, until her condescending, patronizing fiancé is present. Mike has to try and rid Pat of the nervousness of her fiancé's presence in order to succeed in play, but that becomes hard when some shady racketeers -who own a portion of Pat's contract- bargain with Mike to have her "throw" a tournament, to insure a gambling payout. The romance never outshone the comedy in this one, and the direction of Cukor again brings some very well done scenes on a tennis court, and all around fun filled Hepburn/Tracy pairing.

Also included in the collection is a documentary by Hepburn on Tracy - the Spencer Tracy Legacy, which pays tribute to Tracy's many great performances, and features interviews with many who worked with and knew him.

A must for fans of Tracy, Hepburn, or both, the films are classics, and documentary an insightful bonus.

It would be nice to have signature collections for Tracy and Hepburn separately, as well as a Volume Two of them as a duo.

There are two great husband-wife teams (one on-screen, the other off) involved in this classic 1949 comedy. Not only do Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy throw comedic sparks as a married team of lawyers on opposing sides of a high-profile case, but their exquisite verbal jousting was scripted by the outstanding team of Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon. Leading all of this stellar talent was director George Cukor at the prime of his career. The result is one of Hollywood's greatest comedy classics, still packing a punch with its sophisticated gender politics. Arguably the best of the Tracy-Hepburn vehicles, Adam's Rib shows the stars at their finest in roles that not only made their off-screen love so entertainingly obvious, but also defined their timeless screen personas--she the intelligent, savvy, rebellious woman ahead of her time, he the easygoing but obstinate modern man who can't help but love her. Screen teams don't get any better than this. --Jeff Shannon

Adam"s Rib is kicked in the Ribs!.......2007-01-05

I was disappointed with the colorized version of this film the processing is horrible! I bought it curious what it would look like in color! Believe me the b/w version is the winner! But to give a compliment deserved the audio quality is superb. Do yourself a favor if you want to own this Tracy/Hepburn comedy gem buy the b/w version on vhs not the colorized version on vhs you won't be disappointed that's a fact!

Recommended for mature audiences only..........2006-12-30

What can one say? It's like the original film of The Producers: perfect yet better with each viewing. The complexity & depth of the two main characters,(to say nothing of the amazing spontaneity of the performers), Adam & Amanda has been rarely matched on film, perhaps more readily on stage, mostly in Shakespearean works, but it's all the extras that makes this film soar, the sublime mirrored performances of wife & mistress by Judy Holiday & Jean Hagen (the original Billie Dawn & her understudy in the Broadway version of another Garson Kanin classic, Born Yesterday), the hilarious courtroom scenes & finally (but not definitively) the unforgettable scene with the gun...ummmm, licorish.
Gawd this is a fabulous movie!

Definitive Tracy-Hepburn Vehicle Dates a Bit with Polemics But Remains a Comedy Classic.......2006-10-27

Seven years into their screen partnership, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made what is arguably their best effort together, the sixth of nine movies they made together. The zingy repartee and old-shoe comfort in their relationship are in full bloom in this 1949 comedy classic directed by George Cukor. Written by the legendary husband and wife writing team of Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, the plot focuses on a headline-grabbing court case involving Doris Attinger, a dim-witted wife who shoots her philandering husband Warren just as he is caught with his blowsy mistress Beryl Caighn. Representing the wounded husband is Assistant DA Adam Bonner who is looking for a quick conviction of the wife. However, his proto-feminist attorney wife Amanda sees the alleged crime as an act of justifiable defiance and decides to defend the wife.

This potentially tense set-up leads to a trial where Amanda sets out to prove that a double standard exists for women and that Doris was merely defending her family and home. Adam, however, believes that the law is the law no matter the gender of those involved and that a murder was indeed attempted. Consequently, the story is not so much about Adam's inherent sexism as it is about Amanda's single-minded determination to prove her point even as the case degrades into a media sideshow. Over half a century later, Amanda's arguments sound rather dated, one-note and frankly ill-conceived with many of her lines simply polemics. At the same time, Hepburn plays such a convincing litigator that her case actually sounds persuasive at times. Tracy is also in top form as he brings his unique combination of sympathy and combustible bluster to a man who respects his wife deeply but becomes increasingly disillusioned with her unlawful stance.

Together, they banter terrifically throughout, but it's in the domestic scenes, for instance, the home movie of their Connecticut farm and the late night meal preparation, where you feel their natural chemistry the most. As Doris, Judy Holliday delivers in her first significant screen role, bringing a deeper pathos to the scorned wife than you would expect. Several years away from "The Seven Year Itch", Tom Ewell plays Warren for the smarmy, sexist cheater that he is, while Jean Hagen expertly plays Beryl as a media-hungry floozy. As the Bonners' next door neighbor Kip, David Wayne acts rather fey for someone who supposedly wants to run away with Amanda, but I suppose the approach was intentional to ensure nothing would really threaten the Bonner marriage except the case. However dated some of the sexual politics feel, the film is still one of the most smartly played of romantic comedies. Unfortunately the 2000 DVD has no extras.

One of the best.......2006-09-06

One of the best Tracy-Hepburn films, though I liked Desk Set a little bit better. Still it's a marvelous film, with a great supporting cast including Judy Holliday and Tom Ewell. whose marriage sounds more like a boxing match than a marriage. David Wayne is the obnoxious next door neighbor who keeps playing a song he wrote about Hepburn which irritates Tracy, no end. Story is about two married lawyers one the defense attorney, the other the prosecutor. Hepburn is defending Judy Holliday for shooting her unfaithful husband, and Tracy is prosecuting her for shooting him. The result is that their marraige begins to take on the same issues of the people they're defending. Fun from beginning to end!

In a word, delightful.......2005-12-29

I am, unfortunately, not as well versed in Spenser Tracy as I am in Katherine Hepburn, but I'm guessing I can say with some conviction that these roles were perfect for the two of them. What I can say with full knowledge is that Katherine Hepburn was perfect for this role, playing the same sort of independent woman she herself tended to be from time to time.

This is a richly written movie about a married couple, Adam and Amanda, who are both lawyers and who are both working on the same case... opposing each other. A woman shot at her uncaring, unsympathetic husband. Adam claims that it's necessary to bring her to the attention of the law. Amanda claims that she won't be given fair treatment as a woman. A battle of the sexes ensues.

The best part of this movie is showing this rather adoring and loving couple as they go through the day to day stresses of their jobs and yet try to maintain a home life at the same time. However, that's just the first element, as of course the stresses of facing each other has to be taken into account. Indeed it's hard to say quite for sure where the movie's going to go, but once it's ended it seems like it couldn't have been presented in any other way.

George Cukor does a brillaint job with directing it. I particularly like how he often sets the camera in a room and lets the characters weave in and out of the area in a way that evenly presents both the disconnect and the miscommunication of the couple from both perspectives. This movie is brilliant in that it is capable of maintaining two (or more) points of view entirely at the same time.

All in all, a very good movie, one of those that makes one nostalgic for the warmth and compassion often felt in older movies. Considering Tracy and Hepburn's relationship, it's interesting to think how this movie might have affected (or reflected) the conversations they might have had.

Love Mia Kirshner, love Adam Goldberg, love Krumholtz and Bradshaw. HATE this movie. It was filled with plot holes and missing chemistry. I have no idea what the producers were thinking. Please, save yourself an hour and a half. Rent Police Academy or anything else that makes even a lick of sense.

Funny and heartfelt with twinges of hilarity!!.......2005-04-03

First off, Mia, Mia, Mia...

She was never at the top of my list until now. She plays coy and seductive and friendly and warm so very well. I'm glad she was multi-dimensional in this film.

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to make of this film from the initial description. It looked like just another one of those romantic-styled comedies that are more run-of-the-mill than interesting. ACCORDING TO SPENCER was an extremely pleasant surprise. I'm glad that my intuition took over and forced me to watch this film because it has quickly become one of my favorites. It's become like "comfort food" because I think we've all been in Spencer's place at one point or another.

In other words...I highly recommend this film for its ingenuity, uniqueness (dude...seriously...the roommates!!!!), and warmth. It won't change your life, but it will put a constant smile on your face for hours and hours.

Funny.......2004-06-18

I love those two guy who played the roommates and Jesse Bradford is gorgeous!
