Woman of the Year

A pretty horrible Hollywood romance. Katharine Hepburn plays a woman who isn't content sitting at home, servicing her husband. If that's enough to make you giddy then this could be a film for you, I just saw a film that buried itself in terrible clichés and was brought down by a terrible performance by Hepburn.

Tess and Sam work for the same newspaper. It takes a while for them to get used to each other, but they eventually fall in love and get married. Tess is very focused on her job, and she gets even more distant when she earns an important feminist title. Sam feels neglected and they quickly grow apart.

It's a romance that doesn't sparkle, and whatever dramatic or comedic elements there are fall completely flat. Hepburn annoyed me, Tracy wasn't any better, and with a runtime of nearly 2 hours, this turned out to be quite the ordeal. It's a film that has aged terribly, but I say that about most Hollywood classics.
