Product Description:
A sports promoter thinks he can make some money by convincing a physical education teacher at a small college to throw a tournament. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 01/08/2002 Starring: Spencer Tracy Katharine Hepburn Run time: 95 minutes Rating: Nr Director: George Cukor
Amazon.com:
Kate plays Pat Pemberton, a college physical education teacher who excels at just about every sport there is. She's also a great athletic competitor, except when her overbearing, worrywart fiancé, Collier Weld, is around. (As Weld, William Ching does an admirable job in a thankless role.) All Pat has to do is see Collier's face on the sidelines and her golf swing loses its power; her tennis game goes haywire. It takes crooked sports manager Mike Conovan (Spencer Tracy, of course) to recognize Pat's outstanding talent. He takes her on as his most important client and handles her with the same loving care that he gives to his favorite racehorse. Naturally, Pat and Mike's relationship is destined to overstep its professional boundaries. The mutual attraction grows from the moment they meet. Watching Pat walk away, Mike comments to his partner, "Not much meat on her, but what's there is 'cherce'."
The film carries a powerful feminist message, especially considering that it was made in the early 1950s: Pat is undone by Collier, who would rather have her stick to being "the little woman" and forget about succeeding. But with Mike in her corner, Pat can have a great career. Her union with him is a true partnership; everything is, as he says, "Five-oh, five-oh." In the end, he's secure enough to be comfortable as "the man behind the woman." The film features terrific comic performances by Aldo Ray as a bone-headed boxer, a young Charles Bronson (before he changed his name from Buchinski) as a small-time gangster, and Our Gang's Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer as a high-strung bus boy. --Laura Mirsky

Katharine Hepburn has said this deceptively casual 1952 comedy is her favorite of the nine onscreen pairings with longtime partner Spencer Tracy, and one can see why as the film takes advantage of her natural athletic prowess. Directed by the redoubtable George Cukor and written by the husband-and-wife team of Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon (Adam's Rib), this is not so much a rollicking screwball farce as a sly opposites-attract love story set in a world pitched between professional sports and the ...

This is a disarming little movie about a woman athlete and her coach. It is a somewhat romantic comedy but it is more about developing a female athlete and coaching her to be a winner. Katherine Hepburn was apparently a terrific athlete and Garson and Kanin wrote their screenplay around her. It is not a raccuous or exaggerated romantic comedy like Adam's Rib or even Woman of the Year. It is much smaller but very charming. Take it for what it is and don't expect it to be like the other films. ... Read More

PAT & MIKE is an inspiring look at the relationship between a gifted athlete (Katherine Hepburn) and her coach (Spencer Tracy), determined to get her back on her game. Pat's fiancee, Collier Weld (William Ching) is the one setback that keeps her from really excelling at the sports she pursues. Everytime she sees him in the crowd, she fails miserably at anything she is attempting to do (be it serve a tennis ball, or shoot a golfball). I am sure you can imagine the twist of fate that occurs while ... Read More

Bought this for my daughter for a course she was taking at UF called Women in Films. It arrived very promptly at her address.

This is a fun film for sports fans. It is only unfortunate that it is so sickenly anti-feminist until the very end. People act as if a woman had no business being an athlete, as if she had no business being a person of any influence at all. I didn't live through the fifties, and if this is accurate, I am appalled. It does get to be a good movie at the end though when Katharine starts kicking some butt!
