 STATE OF THE UNION (1948)
Starring: Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Angela Lansbury
Rating: (Unrated)
Run Time: 124
Genre: Comedy/Drama Academy Award-winning screen icons and real life lovers Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn shine in a classic film about marriage, politics and the pursuit of the American dream. No doubt about it, these are two good roles for the smitten stars: Tracy is a self-made businessman reluctantly drafted into a dark-horse presidential candidacy; Hepburn is his estranged but whip-smart wife, who joins him on the campaign trail. Adding intrigue is the newspaper heiress (played with relish by baby-faced Angela Lansbury) who's the cause of their marital problems. She's also the one who convinces a longtime political horse-trader (Adolphe Menjou) to take up the campaign--which leads to a series of compromises for the candidate. Masterfully directed by three-time Academy Award winner Frank Capra (It's a Wonderful Life, It Happened One Night), State of the Union is a timeless crowd pleaser with a stellar supporting cast. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name, it is a remarkable story of corruption and redemption that shows that no matter how much our world advances, not much has really changed in the world of power and politics. Universal Studios is loaning us a special archival print of this rarely shown film! |
