One of those movies that has many aspects that are both good and bad. The bad is that its awfully simplistic to watch the Hepburn character fall apart in athletics every time her beau appears at her contests. On the other hand, her raw-boned look and competitive manner works and she does a decent job in those scenes where she is asked to golf or play tennis. The rest it edited pretty well.

Its also fun to see real female sports stars in the film, Babe Didrikson Zaharias actually gets some lines. What makes the film is that there is still some spunk to the dialog, some good back and forth that has a little snap to it. Its also somewhat interesting to see a mirror on a time when a gifted athletic female could actually star in more than one sport, though it is tempered by the drama and romance of the situations here. Tracy is a little more typecast overall.
