This classic romantic comedy was the first film in the long collaboration between Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. As intellectual, political columnist Tess Harding (Hepburn) and down-to-earth sportswriter Sam Craig (Tracy), they work at the same New York paper. After Tess makes some negative comments about sports on the radio, the two trade barbs in print. Then their editor, Clayton (Reginald Owen), brings them together to make peace. They do so with a vengeance, immediately becoming infatuated with each other. Sam takes Tess to her first baseball game where she quickly ingratiates herself with the other fans, and is surprised to find herself enjoying the proceedings. She invites Sam to her apartment for the evening, but his eagerness is dampened when he finds a couple of dozen of her friends there as well. Despite their differences, and Tess' busy schedule, the two continue to see each other, and the relationship deepens. When the couple decide to marry, Sam finds his desire for a simple, traditional ceremony overridden by the demands of Tess' schedule, and those of her illustrious relatives, which require that the wedding take place almost immediately, in North Carolina. Hepburn and Tracy perform at their peaks, with peerless direction by Stevens, and a wittily observant script. The film's insights on the battle of the sexes come from young screenwriter Ring Lardner Jr., who witnessed the relationship between his legendary sportswriter father and the equally famous columnist Dorothy Thompson.DVD Features:Region 1Scene SelectionOriginal Trailer

Based on the Elmore Leonard novel that inspired both the 1969 film and this remake, THE BIG BOUNCE is a comic film noir about an everyman who finds trouble in the form of a beautiful blonde. Jack Ryan (Owen Wilson) is a small-time scam artist who is determined to leave that life behind after yet another run-in with the law. But when he meets the mistress of his former boss, Ray Ritchie (Gary Sinese), all bets are off. Nancy (newcomer Sara Foster) is hot, mischievous, and up to no good, but Jack is too smitten to use his better judgment. It isn't long before he's agreed to help her steal $200,000 from Ray. Along the way, he must contend with a series of potentially shady characters, who might not be what they seem (Morgan Freeman, Charlie Sheen, and Bebe Neuwirth).Directed with an easygoing approach that fits perfectly with the laid back Hawaiian locales, THE BIG BOUNCE gets an enormous boost from Owen Wilson, who appears to be having the time of his life. This might have something to do with his costar Foster, a former model whose mere presence is enough to make the screen sizzle. The movie also features hilarious supporting turns from Freeman, Neuwirth, and especially Sheen.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreen - 2.40Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurettes - 1.THE BIG BOUNCE: A Con in the Making Outtakes - 1.Wicked Waves: Stunt Surfer Outtakes Filmographies - 1.Surfing the Pipeline: Surfing in the Aloha State
