Tracy and Hepburn turn in unforgettable performances.

Let's not be too analytic about the likelihood of the yarn or the tightness of the script Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin have written for this romp.
03/25/06
Pat and Mike saunters through its 96 minutes with a casual, unassuming air.
01/01/00
Not quite as fully realised as the classic Adam's Rib, but generally good.
03/07/01
The best of the Spencer Tracy-Katharine Hepburn cycle.
08/04/08
The familiarity the two stars communicate goes far beyond the script.

The film doesn't have much plot but the dialogue is bright, and the roles tailor-made for stars Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn demonstrates with physical strength what she proved in Adam's Rib with intellect, that women can be equal to men

There are far too many shots featuring real-life sports stars, but the sparring leads, and Ray's dim boxer, work superbly together under Cukor's deceptively effortless, always elegant direction.

Another fine teaming, with great support from Aldo Ray

One of the better Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn comedies -- not so much for the screenplay by Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, which lacks the bite and sophistication of Adam's Rib, as for the relaxed and graceful interplay of the stars.

Tracy is given some choice lines in the script and makes much of them in an easy, throwaway style that lifts the comedy punch.
08/04/08
Tracy and Hepburn were so opposite in personal and professional style that their joyous compatibility on screen and off remains a source of wonder and delight.
05/24/03
Slight sports comedy.
