Pat And Mike

SYNOPSIS: The sun sill neak by a rooster before sports promoter Mike Conovan (Spencer Tracy) lets opportunity pass him by. So the first time he sees genteel Pat Pemberton (Katharine Hepburn) swing a five-iron, he decides to ink her to a pro contract. “Not much meat on her,” Mike later says, “but what’s there is cherve.” For the ‘chervest’ of romantic comedies, George Cukor directs, Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin provide the Oscar-nominated screenplay, and a deft cast plays various Damon Runyonesque types, including Aldo Ray as a dim-bulb palooka and Chrles (Bronson) Buchinski as a tough guy who finds Pat tougher. Sports stars of the day (like Babe Didrikson Zaharias and Gussie Moran) add to the Jocks-and-Jills funs. Let the games begin!
