Woman of the Year (1942)

I’ll watch anything starring Katharine Hepburn; she’s fantastic. Woman of the Year is no exception. It’s a romantic comedy drama about two journalists working in the same building but existing in different worlds.
When hate turns to love they have to each decide what it is that’s important, and have a laugh along the way. It’s predicable stuff up to a point, but there are moments where I was surprised at the turn of events.
It was the first film to pair her with Spencer Tracy. They'd go on to make another eight pictures together and fall in love in real life.
