Commentary

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy are one of the most famous movie couples in cinema history. Their partnership produced nine films made over the course of 26 years. People love to talk about their offscreen relationship, particularly their alleged affair. Nevertheless, if you separate the movies from the scandal and the temptation for comparison, the individual films are worth studying. I’ve written extensively about the movies Hepburn and Tracy made together, highlighting their depictions of the battle of the sexes and their fascinating political themes. However, each film also includes some simple wisdom.
