Synopsis of Without Love
During World War II, lonely widow Jamie Rowan (Katharine Hepburn) helps the war effort by marrying military research scientist Patrick Jamieson (Spencer Tracy).
Product Description
Every rental is rented, every sublet is let in crowded Washington, D.C. So Jamie Rowan does her part for the wartime lodging crunch by sharing her home with military inventor Pat Jamieson. There are a few conditions, natch. First, for appearances, they must get married. Second, there’s plenty of room for each other but no room for love.
Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn team for the third time in Without Love, played for laughs and above all, with love. Donald Ogden Stewart adapts Philip Barry’s play (five years earlier, both helped shape Hepburn’s comeback movie The Philadelphia Story). And Keenan Wynn’s bibulous bon vivant, Lucille Ball’s wisecracking Girl Friday and Gloria Grahame’s flower girl add to the movie’s urbane wit and warmth.
