Note du spécialiste

George Cukor directed Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy as an on-screen couple four times. Their long term off-screen affair was an open secret in Hollywood, however they did not live together until the final years of Tracy's life, when they shared a cottage on Cukor's estate in Beverly Hills.
