Katharine Hepburn, the only winner of four acting Oscars, once had a relationship with John Ford, the only winner of four directing Oscars. This is one of her four, Tracy, Kellaway and Beah Richards were nominated.
There's a lovely long take between Tracy and Hepburn in the bathroom, ending where he accidentally puts his shaving brush into his whisky.
Before his pronouncement, Tracy calls Poitier 'John', the first time he's not addressed him as 'Doctor'.
When Tracy gives his speech, and gives Hepburn that look, it's as though they are acknowledging their real love for one another. He died seventeen days later.
