I saw this today on TMC. It's the first Tracy-Hepburn movie appearance. What really grabbed me was its relevance. Hepburn's husband died in an automobile accident. He was a wealthy, super-patriotic national figure.
He was also plotting with other wealthy and influential people to turn Americans against each other, pitting races, economic classes against each other, and fermenting anti-semitism and other forms of hatred.
In 1943 the USA and its Allies fought against Fascism. This movie is relevant today also. Only the fascists are here. Yes, I know one has o be vigilant against the radical left. But look at who is marking around with weapons openly displayed, with Nazi symbols and KKK regalia.
