Movies starring Spencer Tracy

Woman of the Year (1942)

114 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made an impressive 9 movies together all of which it has to be said are enjoyable. But whilst there are funnier movies that they made together there is something about their first movie tog...

Keeper of the Flame (1942)

100 mins     Drama      

For me the best Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn movies were those where they played warring partners, where the chemistry and wicked banter would fly between them and off of the screen. As such I just didn't enjoy "Keeper...

Adam's Rib (1949)

101 mins     Comedy, Drama, Romance      

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made an impressive 9 movies together and out of those 9 "Adam's Rib" is one of the best. With Tracy and Hepburn paired up as a married couple who find themselves on different sides of the c...

Father of the Bride (1950)

92 mins     Comedy, Romance      

I have always had a soft spot for the 1991 version of "Father of the Bride" and when I first saw it I had no idea that it was a remake. Since then I have watched the original "Father of the Bride" a couple of times, once when...

Father's Little Dividend (1951)

82 mins     Comedy, Romance      

So "Father's Little Dividend" the sequel to the original "Father of the Bride" and whilst we have a new storyline it is actually pretty much a rerun of the first movie with the focus on Stanley Banks having to come to terms w...

Pat and Mike (1952)

95 mins     Comedy, Romance      

Maybe because Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn were so good together, with such great chemistry and made everything seem so natural and easy that I find "Pat and Mike" a little to easy going. That doesn't mean that it isn'...

Broken Lance (1954)

96 mins     Drama, Romance, Western      

Westerns are often given a bad name, people tend to think of simple movies about a cowboy seeking vengeance, big gunfights and often John Wayne, but there are a lot more to westerns than just those cliches. Take "Broken Lance...

Bad Day at Black Rock (1955)

81 mins     Crime, Drama, Thriller      

"Bad Day at Black Rock" is a fascinating movie, it's an action thriller built on 3 things and does things differently to what you expect from a normal action thriller. There are no really big chases, no romantic subplots or s...

Desk Set (1957)

103 mins     Comedy, Romance      

There is something quite amusing when you consider the premise of "Desk Set" as you have a team of researchers fretting over their jobs as computers are introduced. It's amusing because you wouldn't think that over 50 years a...

The Devil at 4 O'Clock (1961)

126 mins     Action , Disaster, Drama, Thriller      

It is said that for a while "The Devil at 4 O'Clock" couldn't get a director because no one was that impressed with the story and whilst Columbia finally got themselves Mervyn LeRoy I can sort of see why no one wanted to touc...

How the West Was Won (1962)

162 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama, Western      

"How the West Was Won" is a big movie in every sense of the word, from the screenplay which spans various generations of the same family, the endless list of stars who played both big and small roles, the 4 directors who film...

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967)

108 mins     Drama, Romance      

In what would be his last movie, Spencer Tracy makes "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" a classic delivering one of his most captivating performances as Matt Drayton a liberal father who finds his liberal beliefs tested when his ...
