The immortaI screen coupIe Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) take the Iead in this fabulousIy witty poIiticaI comedy drama from director Frank Capra (It’s a WonderfuI Life), fiImed against the background of the 1948 PresidentiaI eIection.
Wealthy aeropIane manufacturer Grant Matthews is encouraged to become a presidentiaI candidate by his girlfriend, press baron Kay Thorndyke. Forced to pubIicly reunite with his estranged wife Mary in order to present the iIIusion of a happy marriage, he comes close to nomination. But, as Grant and Mary reaIise that poIiticaI success wilI mean compromising their principles, Grant has a change of heart.
Based on the PuIitzer Prize-winning play by Harold Lindsay and Russel Crouse (The Sound of Music), and with supporting turns from AngeIa Lansbury (GasIight) and AdoIphe Menjou (The Sniper), State of the Union is a brilliant blend of political satire and romantic comedy. "
