Reviews
“For the first time in months, this critical spectator feels like tossing his old hat into the air and weaving a joyous snake dance over the typewriter keys in celebration of Metro's triumphant WOMAN OF THE YEAR.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
“Tracy and Hepburn were a great team, and this, their first outing together, set the seal on the pattern to follow into the next decade.”
