Woman of the Year
TCM, 11:45am
Catch a Classic!

Before Katharine Hepburn ever met Spencer Tracy, she wanted him as her costar in this 1942 romantic comedy/drama directed by George Stevens. Conceived to build on the smashing comeback Hepburn had made in The Philadelphia Story, Woman of the Year is the story of rival newspaper reporters who wed, only to find that their careers aren’t so compatible when they both demonstrate unflinching commitment to their work. The freewheeling but pinpoint-sharp screenplay by Ring Lardner Jr. and Michael Kanin won an Oscar, and Hepburn was nominated for Best Actress. In the film, the legendary Hollywood pair forged a fresh and realistic vision of what marriage could be, and it marked the beginning of the long-lasting personal and professional union between Hepburn and Tracy, who would go on to make eight more films together. Woman of the Year stands as a dazzling, funny and sometimes rueful observation of what it takes for men and women to get along — both in the workplace and out of it.

Zero Hour!
TCM, 4:30pm
Catch a Classic!

Although this 1957 airplane-in-distress drama takes itself very seriously, fans of the 1980 movie Airplane! may find themselves chuckling throughout the film. Airplane! is basically a shot-for-shot parody of Zero Hour! at many points, and those familiar with the comedy will recognize some of the character types and/or names (like Dana Andrews’ Ted Stryker), the plot and stretches of dialogue that Airplane! lifted from Zero Hour! The screenplay for the drama was written by Arthur Hailey, who also wrote the novel Airport, which inspired several of the ’70s disaster films that were also spoofed in Airplane! While played straight, Zero Hour! can’t really escape its association with the zaniness of Airplane!, and that makes it a unique watch. Even for those unfamiliar with the comedy, the heightened melodrama and some over-the-top plot elements of this movie make it a bit humorous in its own right, and it’s tempting to want to go back and say to the creators of the film, “Surely, you can’t be serious.”

Every Thursday night in February, Turner Classic Movies celebrates the films of actress/dancer/singer — and one of the very rare “EGOT” talents (an artist who has won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony) — Rosa Dolores Alverío Marcano, better known as Rita Moreno. The iconic star turned 91 back in December and is still quite active in the business; she has costarred in a few films in recent years, including Steven Spielberg’s 2021 remake of West Side Story and the new comedy 80 for Brady that hits theaters Feb. 3, and had a guest spot on the new NBC sitcom Lopez vs. Lopez last month.
