A most delightfully acted and gracefully entertaining film.

New York Times
Rating: 7/10 --
...most notable for being a metatextual commentary on the onscreen/offscreen romance of Tracy and Hepburn.

The Retro Set
Rating: 3/4 --
Initially breezy without ever sacrificing any of its points, the picture eventually resorts to a series of static speeches. Luckily, the actors carry the day, particularly Sidney Poitier, Cecil Kellaway and, taking MVP honors, Spencer Tracy.

Creative Loafing
A disaster on all counts -- its time, if it ever had one, has definitely passed.

Variety
The movie insidiously charms us into ignoring its defects, and for this the credit must go to a superb cast.

New Yorker
A wishy-washy, sanctimonious plea for tolerance, directed with Kramer's customary verbosity and stodginess.

Time Out
Product Description:
A liberal white couple (Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, in Tracy's last appearance) put their platitudes to the test.

Academy Award Nominations: 10, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor--Spencer Tracy.
