en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keeper_of_the_Flame_(film)Keeper of the Flame is the second film to feature the team of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Released in 1943, Keeper of the Flame is in contrast in atmosphere to the first Tracy-Hepburn film, the previous year’s Woman of the Year. Whereas Woman of the Year was a romantic comedy, Keeper of the Flame is a mystery drama which was about the accidental death of a national hero. Tracy plays a reporter (just like he did in the aforementioned Woman of the Year) who investigate the events and circumstances leading to the death of the hero. Unlike Tracy, Hepburn does not play a reporter in Keeper of the Flame just like she did in Woman of the Year. She instead plays the widow of the hero. Keeper of the Flame is a well built suspense film as the Tracy character finds out the truth of the hero’s character and what lengths that certain quarters would go through to conceal the secret of this truth which makes Keeper of the Flame a very thrilling experience to behold.
