Pat and Mike (1952)



Dir.: George Cukor
Plot: A talented lady golfer with an unusual performance issue falls in with a shrewd sports agent

If you’re the sort of person who hears about Katharine Hepburn’s real-life sporting prowess and immediately says “Oh yeah? I’ll believe it when I see it!” then this is certainly the film for you. Screenwriters Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, friends of Hepburn’s, were inspired by her talent for athletics as the basis for her fifth cinematic outing with Tracy.
