This may not be one of the better known pairings of Tracy and Hepburn, but it's a completely engaging example of their effortless chemistry together on screen. Bucquet has a bit of a stodgy approach to the directing, but his leading pair are smartly effusive enough together to enliven the film enough all on their own. There's also a nice supporting turn by Ball as a sharp-tongued friend that suggests the highly enjoyable path her movie career could have taken if things had just broken her way.

It's got Tracy and Hepburn, but even they don't help much.
