Continues the BBCtv tribute to Cary Grant who died last year. Today with James Stewart, Katharine Hepburn

George Cukor's delightful romantic comedy renewed Cary Grant's film partnership with Katharine Hepburn, who repeated her stage role as Tracy. James Stewart won an Oscar for his role as a cynical writer.
