Pat and Mike

Pat and Mike is a 1952 American romantic comedy film starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. The movie was written by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, and directed by George Cukor, who also directed The Philadelphia Story 1940 with Hepburn, and Adams Rib 1949 with Hepburn and Tracy.

Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon were friends with Hepburn and Tracy, and had the idea of writing a film to showcase Hepburns athletic abilities. She was an avid golfer and tennis player, and indeed performed all the sports footage in the film herself.Pat and Mike was filmed on location around Los Angeles with many golfing scenes taking place at the Riviera Country Club. Additional scenes were filmed at Occidental College. Many notable athletes appear in cameo roles or play themselves in the film, including golfers Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Betty Hicks, and Helen Dettweiler, and tennis champions Don Budge, Gussie Moran and Alice Marble. Other notables in the cast include Charles Bronson credited as Charles Buchinsky in his first credited movie role, Carl Alfalfa Switzer, Jim Backus, and, in his film debut, Chuck Connors of The Rifleman television series. ........
