Spencer Tracy hated making this movie, but did it as a favor to Katharine Hepburn, who had starred in the play.
This was an adaptation of a Broadway play starring Katharine Hepburn, Elliott Nugent, and Audrey Christie. The stage production opened at the St. James Theatre in New York on Nov. 10, 1942, and ran for 113 performances.
Third of nine films pairing Tracy and Hepburn released from 1942 to 1967.
This film was a success at the box office for MGM, earning a profit of $619,000 ($8.4M in 2017) according to studio records. This was one of MGM's biggest hits of 1945.
Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball had worked together nine years earlier in the film, Stage Door.
