Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
凯瑟琳赫本 和 斯宾塞屈塞，《猜猜谁来吃晚餐》
Katahrine Hepburn could get her own Superstar Duos list -- her filmography boasts collaborations with Humphrey Bogart, Henry Fonda, Cary Grant, and John Wayne -- but she worked with Spencer Tracy most (and best) of all. Hepburn and Tracy made nine movies together, and we really could have chosen any of them for this list, but ultimately, we settled on 1967's Guess Who's Coming to Dinner -- partly because it was an important film about race relations that won two Academy Awards (against an impressive eight nominations), and partly because they made it knowing Tracy didn't have long to live. While it hasn't aged particularly well, most critics are still willing to look past Dinner's flaws, including Roger Ebert, who asks, "It would be easy to tear the plot to shreds and catch Kramer in the act of copping out. But why? On its own terms, this film is a joy to see, an evening of superb entertainment."
凯瑟琳赫本可以自己列成一个巨星搭档列表——她的银幕搭档包括有亨弗莱鲍嘉、亨利方达、加里格兰特和约翰韦恩——但她与斯宾塞屈塞的合作最多也最好。赫本和屈塞一共合作了九部电影，我们其实可以挑选其中的任何一部列入这个单子，但最终我们选择了1967年的电影《猜猜谁来吃晚餐》，一部分原因是这部获得了两座奥斯卡金像奖（获得了八项提名）的作品是表现种族关系的最重要的电影，另一部分原因在于他们是在明知屈塞将不久于人世的情况下拍摄了此片。然而这部影片并没有安然变老，很多影评人仍然热衷于寻找影片的种种缺陷，包括罗杰艾伯特，他认为，“情节很容易被撕得粉碎，看到导演克莱默对于现实的逃避。但为什么这么做呢？就电影本身来看，观看它是一种乐趣，是很棒的夜晚消遣。”
