Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn costarred for the first time in the delectable romantic comedy Woman of the Year. Tracy plays New York sportswriter Sam Craig, who becomes incensed at comments about the uselessness of sports made by foreign correspondent Tess Harding (Hepburn). Sam and Tess subsequently use their respective columns to carry on a feud-at least, until they finally meet face to face. After Sam takes Tess to her first baseball game (one of the funniest scenes ever committed to

For the first time in months, this critical spectator feels like tossing his old hat into the air and weaving a joyous snake dance over the typewriter keys in celebration of Metro's triumphant Woman of the Year...
The premise is promising...But Stevens lacks the courage to make much of the conflict; the film ends with an embarrassing sequence in which Hepburn is tamed and installed in the kitchen.
Filled with witty lines and hilarious situations, the film is good entertainment, reminding us of Hepburn and Tracy's appeal
Fine Tracy-Hepburn comedy-romance directed by George Stevens.
A marvelous comedy-drama, brimming with wit, style, and sophistication.
The first teaming of Tracy and Hepburn shows the chemistry between the stars, setting the pattern for future and better battle of the sexes romantic comedies.
Tracy and Hepburn were a great team, and this, their first outing together, set the seal on the pattern to follow into the next decade.
One of the best Tracy-Hepburn movies
It starts strong, but bogs in a muddled slapstick finale.
This is the first of many Tracy & Hepburn movies, and the chemistry's not quite there yet in this one. Some impressively funny scenes and a hilarious ending redeem the long stretches of predictability.
The Oscar-winning screenplay provides plenty of smart lines along the way as art anticipates life.
Brilliant except for the odd part about the adopted child and awkward ending.
I do like Hepburn and Tracy, and they give good performances, but the story is too predictable and boring.

Another great Tracy/Hepburn pairing. This is the closest of their films to show their actual relationship behind the scenes.
