The film is a classic, and deservedly so: the conjunction of Tracy's sly listlessness and Hepburn's stridency defines chemistry in the movies.

George Cukor employs an unusually large number of long takes, often allowing the inspired spats between his leads to play out in unbroken real time. But the much more likely explanation for the film’s enduring popularity has to be the way it took the gender politics underlying many of the duo’s collaborations and made them the full-fledged focus.
