Goofs:
Continuity: In the first scene in the bar, in which all are listening to the NBC Radio program "Information, Please", the dial of the AM radio on the shelf behind the bar changes location between long shots and close-ups. It is correct in close-up, at 660kHz, one of the broadcast frequencies NBC used in New York City in the 1940s, and at 880kHz in long shots, the frequency of the New York City CBS affiliate.

An Unbelievable Coupling, 20 July 2000
Author:
gbheron from Washington, DC
Tracy and Hepburn's first movie is like two separate movies in one. One is a
screwball comedy that takes up most of the first half of the movie. It
covers the romance between Sam, the average Joe sports columnist, and Tess,
the sophisticated, globe-trotting political columnist. The scenes where they
both try and adapt to the others life are hysterical.The second movie covers the relationship as it implausibly deepens into
romance, leading to marriage. The clash of lifestyles and personalities
drives the couple further and further apart endangering the marriage.This
movie is not a comedy.The first half of the movie is mostly comedy, the second mostly drama.
Comedy does raise it's head throughout, and this, in my opinion saves the
movie from catastrophe. As it is, it's pretty good, but not a classic by any
stretch in my opinion.
