WOMAN OF THE YEAR •••• Metro-Goldivyn-Mayer
g Something new has been added to the old story of the career woman who had to be turned into a human being. That something is gaiety — plus humor, wit, sparkling dialogue, and superb performances by Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in the title roles. The film is loaded with laughter throughout, and if you miss it, you'll be missing one of the most delightful comedies of the year.
The plot is not a new one. It is the old battle of the sexes, with Tracy as a downto-earth sports writer who falls in love with Katharine Hepburn, a glib lady columnist who is famous the world over. They marry, but so intent is she on being an international figure that she completely overlooks the importance of being a wife.
She magnanimously adopts a little Greek refugee, then leaves him alone and unloved while she dashes dizzily away in search of news. Eventually, of course, she gains the right perspective on life, but in the interim we are treated to a gusty comedy with Tracy and Miss Hepburn excelling anything they have done recently. Her satire of a famous columnist is brittle and beautiful, and the scene in which she penitently returns to attempt to cook breakfast for her husband is a gleeful moment. Men will love the scene in the ball park where Tracy patiently tries to explain the game to Miss Hepburn.
See Woman of the Year by all means.
ROXIE HART ***
Tiventieth Century-Fox
■ Ginger Rogers turns in another fine performance in this travesty of a flashy chorus girl whose greatest talent is in advancing her own ends. The story is based on the famous play called Chicago, which was a hit back in 1927. The film opens with a newspaperman rushing to a bar for a drink before embarking on his assignment to a gory murder. He is led to recall his own days as a cub reporter when he covered the famous Roxie Hart case.
Roxie, who is not guilty, is only too glad to stand trial for the crime she didn't commit for the sake of the newspaper space she can grab for herself. When that wears thin, she hits on the bright idea of announcing a forthcoming blessed event. Ginger does a tip-top job in the leading role.
The amusing foreword dedicates the picture to "all women in the world who have shot their men full of holes in pique." That gives you an idea of the fun that's in store for you.
