Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon screenplay has Tracy a slightly dodgy sports promoter, Hepburn an all-round sports goddess (tapping into her natural abilities), who gets the better of the man. Most refreshing battle of sexes story.
Aldo Ray is the thick boxer, William Ching the BF. With various real sports stars, and a Charles Buchinsky, for good measure.
The scene where Kate has to explain to the police (Chuck Connors) how she disabled the bad guys is a corker.
Mostly location shot by William H Daniels for MGM. Memorable nightmarish tennis scene. Also love Kate hitting the six golf balls in a row.
