Overview

It's the love match of the century. In this corner, ultra-chic fashion designer Lauren Bacall. Her opponent is sloppily dressed sportswriter Gregory Peck. The two meet and amidst their sparring, love blossoms and marriage ensues. This sophisticated comedy, reminiscent of the old Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn vehicles, follows the disparate couple as they try to make their unlikely union a winner. The obstacles they face include vengeful mobsters and a series of improbable misunderstandings. The gangsters are mad at the sportswriter because he has published a no-holds-barred series of exposes on corruption in boxing. The other troubles arise after the writer's ex-girlfriend and the designer's ex boyfriend show up in town. Both are eager see their old flames, neither of whom knows about the other. The supporting cast was unusually good, but Bacall's performance is particularly notable in the film, for though she played a comedy role in the film, her real life was full of tragedy, as during production, her long-time love and husband Humphrey Bogart was dying.
