REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Tue., July 23, 2002
One of the great Tracy-Hepburn pairings, this adaptation from the Broadway stage focuses on the love that grows from the contentious relationship between an efficiency expert and the head of the TV research department whose operations he's been called in to automate.
