Starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn
with Aldo Ray

A sports promoter with a somewhat shady background decides to build Pat Pemberton into the all-round American woman athlete. Pat's only trouble is a fiance who insists on watching everything she does and invariably puts her off her stroke.
A tailor-made vehicle for Tracy and Hepburn who succeeded in blending their contrasting styles to produce one of the most successful partnerships in film comedy.
