WOMAN OF THE YEAR
"WOMAN OF THE YEAR" (1942)
This romantic comedy stars Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. The more I watch the movies they made together, the more I realize how forward-thinking they were, when it comes to women's rights. I also appreciate that all of the characters she played were very strong and accomplished women. This film is no exception. It was nominated for 2 Academy Awards and won 1; "Best Original Screenplay," for which it is included in the schedule. It was also nominated for a New York Film Critics Circle Award. In 1999 it was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry.
SYNOPSIS: "Tess Harding (Katharine Hepburn) is a progressively-minded political journalist. Sam Craig (Spencer Tracy) is a sports writer with very traditional values. The only thing the two have in common is that they both work for the same New York City newspaper. Despite an initial and mutual dislike, the two eventually fall in love and get married. When Tess wins the Woman of the Year award, traditional gender roles become flipped and their relationship suffers as a result."
