Woman of the Year

Broadcast: April 19, 1943
Added: Dec 31 2023

Today's show stars Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy in their original legendary pairing in this classic screwball comedy. The film, adapted from a Broadway play, tells the story of Tess Harding, a no-nonsense war correspondent, and Mike Bryson, a sportswriter who champions traditional gender roles. The plot takes us on a whirlwind journey as Tess's career skyrockets, landing her the title of "Woman of the Year," while Mike's star fades. Their clashing personalities and differing views on life lead to hilarious conflicts and witty exchanges. But beneath the surface, the film explores themes of gender equality, ambition, and the challenges of balancing career and personal life.
