Product Description

Katharine Hepburn & Spencer Tracy: The Signature Collection (DVD) (4-Pack)

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy: The Signature Collection. The films included are Woman of the Year, Pat and Mike, Adam's Rib and The Spencer Tracy Legacy. Woman of the Year (1942) was the first collaboration between Hepburn and Tracy, and you can see why it was the spark that ignited the flame that lasted 25 years, in this classic battle of the sexes. In Adam's Rib (1949), the duo are back at it again, except this time they are in the courtroom battling it out as two married lawyers - on opposite sides of a case! Pat and Mike (1952) was George Cukor's eighth and final collaboration with Katharine Hepburn, but this magnificent film about the improbable relationship between a female golfer and a sports promoter was a movie that proved to be ahead of its time in terms of sexual politics, and earned the production two Academy Award* Nominations: Best Story and Best Screenplay. For the first time on DVD and sold exclusively in this collection is the very special The Spencer Tracy Legacy: A Tribute by Katharine Hepburn (1986) in which Katharine Hepburn looks back on the life of her former co-star and best friend, Spencer Tracy, in a touching and insightful look at one of the great American actors.

It's "Cherce"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2021

Before you purchase this four-DVD set you need to make at least two decisions. One: Do you want to see every movie in which Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn starred? If so, this won't do: you have only three. Two: Do you want pristine video and audio? If so, this set will disappoint you. The video is cluttered with dust, specks, scratches, and the old two-circle flashes that signaled reel changes every ten minutes. Don't misunderstand: the video is not awful, but it hasn't been remastered with polish.

If you can clear those hurdles, what this set does offer—at a reasonable price if you search for it—are perhaps the three finest MGM movies that teamed Tracy and Hepburn: "Woman of the Year" (1942; directed by George Stevens from a script by Ring Lardner, Jr., and Michael Kanin), "Adam's Rib" (1949; directed by George Kukor; script by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin), and "Pat and Mike" (1952; directed by Cukor; scripted by Gordon and Kanin). The fourth DVD in this set is a fifty-minute tribute to Tracy's career, narrated by Hepburn. What the latter lacks in picture quality is compensated by her honest sentiment.

All three pictures were popular and critical hits, deservedly so. "Woman of the Year" carries as much drama as it does humor. "Adam's Rib" is flat-out comedy with a breakthrough performance by Judy Holliday, a decade before "Born Yesterday." "Pat and Mike" varies the combination of "Woman of the Year": two protagonists from different worlds, transposed from the earlier film's newspaper setting to that of sports, peppered with Damon Runyonesque characters played by a fine cast of supporting players. The playing field is level in "Adam's Rib": the stars play married lawyers who meet each other on the field of courtroom battle, one for the prosecution and the other for the defense.

The chemistry between Hepburn and Tracy bubbles off the screen. One of the biggest stars of his era, Tracy, always the underplayer, cheerfully allowed himself to be upstaged by Hepburn in a series of extraordinarily feminist performances before the adjective was coined, or at least popular. These are enduring movie classics, with scripts and performances that repay repeated viewings for their joie de vivre.

Two of the best actors, three of their best films

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2007

It goes without saying that Katharine Hepburn is probably the greatest actress that graced the screen. At least, in my opinion she is.
Spencer Tracy was also a brilliant actor. Without doubt one of the best in history also.

Any fan of one or the other, is most likely a fan of them both, as their 9 terrific films together provide is with one of the greatest Hollywood duos of all time, and truly an affair to remember.

This collection, containing three of their finest films, is a very good buy.

First off, Woman Of The Year, their first film together. Director George Stevens (who had directed Hepburn earlier in Alice Adams), does a masterful job, as do writers Ring Lardner, Jr. and Michael Kanin (from whom Hepburn got the script and went to Louis B. Mayer, head of MGM, and demanded Tracy as her leading man, and Stevens as her director. She had tried and failed to get Tracy once for The Philadelphia Story, having always been a fan, but succeeded in her second attempt...lucky us). The finished film is a perfect balance: beautiful dramatic edge, in parts- highly amusing, and also one of the most moving romances I've seen. It never gets sappy. Its real. And totally unique. The tale of a sports writer, Sam Craig (Tracy) and political columnist, Tess Harding (Hepburn) at the same paper who in their respective columns rag on each other, but soon meet and become rather smitten. They marry, but married life doesn't really bring quite the happiness they thought it would, as certain party's don't put marriage before career...

Adam's Rib. The duos sixth film together, another great film. Similarly to Woman of The Year, this film has perfect blend of drama, comedy and romance. Tracy and Hepburn play married lawyers. Adam Bonner (Tracy), the district attorney is assigned the case of prosecuting a woman, Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday) who tried to shoot her husband when she found out he was having an affair. The issues involved with the case is something his wife, Amanda (Hepburn) feels very strongly about, and she chases the case herself, defending Attinger in court. As the trial gains momentum, the Bonner's bring the court tension home, and the husband and wife antics into court, as the battle for equal rights between men and women rages.
Truly a fine piece of work, George Cukor (one of the great Hollywood directors with many a classic to his name, that is often sadly over looked) has a divine knack for making first class romantic comedies, see for example, earlier work with Hepburn, The Philadelphia Story. Added to the craft of Cukor, a fine script by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, this film ends up a true classic.

Pat & Mike, one of Hepburn & Tracy's most popular films, it makes fine use of Hepburn's talents in other areas: sport. Tennis: she held her own. Golf: played a good game.
Tracy plays Mike Conovan, a smooth talking sports promoter, who believes Pat Pemberton (Hepburn) has huge potential as an all 'round athlete. Signing her, he takes her to pro golf and tennis tournaments, and Pemberton fares well, until her condescending, patronizing fiancé is present. Mike has to try and rid Pat of the nervousness of her fiancé's presence in order to succeed in play, but that becomes hard when some shady racketeers -who own a portion of Pat's contract- bargain with Mike to have her "throw" a tournament, to insure a gambling payout. The romance never outshone the comedy in this one, and the direction of Cukor again brings some very well done scenes on a tennis court, and all around fun filled Hepburn/Tracy pairing.

Also included in the collection is a documentary by Hepburn on Tracy - the Spencer Tracy Legacy, which pays tribute to Tracy's many great performances, and features interviews with many who worked with and knew him.

A must for fans of Tracy, Hepburn, or both, the films are classics, and documentary an insightful bonus.

It would be nice to have signature collections for Tracy and Hepburn separately, as well as a Volume Two of them as a duo.

Three comedies and one intimate wartime drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Despite their most popular and sentimental favourite, "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" (1967, Tracy's last film) is missing here, this still is a rather representative collection of this unique acting couple partnership. The top movie of the four, is of course, "Adam's Rib" (1949), a funny clash of two lawyers, a married couple who find themselves in the battle of sexes, opposite one another in a courtroom. This movie was voted at No. 7 among best Romantic Comedies by American Film Institute a decade ago.
Another funny piece is "Pat and Mike" (from 1952), which is based upon Hepburn's trademark physical prowess, she was really able to play almost any sport. Tracy plays her agent here.
Their first film together, "Woman of the Year" (1942) is funny for its pairing of two seemingly incompatible characters, an eloquent political commentator (Hepburn) and earthy sports reporter (Tracy). The scene with pan and eggs is worth the entire movie.
"The Keeper of the Flame" (1943) was made on the wave of American WWII patriotism and as such takes itself too seriously. But it still is worth checking out, although as for quality, it lags behind the other three (which, probably by no coincidence, are comedies).
Other notable movies with Tracy and Hepburn starring include "Desk Set" and "State of the Union".

A must-have for any Tracy & Hepburn fan

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 19, 2011

This set contains 3 of my favorite movies with Tracy and Hepburn (who happen to be my favorite onscreen couple) -- Woman of the Year, Adam's Rib and Pat and Mike. Keeper of the Flame is different than any other movie they've done, but interesting nonetheless -- not your typical George Cukor picture to say the least. The first three films give me the greatest laughs every single time I watch them and I'm very grateful for this special release. You are in for a delightful treat -- two of all-time greatest movie stars, foils of each other who create a unique chemistry. Enjoy!
