That ending of "Woman of the Year"...oof. I really enjoyed the movie up until Katherine Hepburn is stumbling around the kitchen. Painful. One of the TCM hosts said that the original ending had her going to a baseball game with Tracy and enjoying it but it didn't test well. -

Hmm, I wonder why? The whole training Gigi to be a courtesean or "Thank Heavens for Little Girls"? I've always liked "Gigi": Leslie Caron is adorable, she and Louis Jordan have a nice chemistry, there's some catchy songs, and it has Hermione Gingold. -

I see what you are saying. While the music does underscore the idea that it's supposed to be funny, I've always taken it as shorthand for the audience to understand how volatile their marriage was. Dex also had a drinking problem. I think the movie mentions how Tracy was good at pushing his buttons, pointing out his weaknesses. They verbally spar. I can imagine Tracy threw a few lamps. It also contrasts her relationship with her fiancee. In George Kittredge she's found someone safe and someone who idolizes her but the wrong man to marry. At the end, you get the idea that Dex has changed his ways and Tracy has come off her pedestal to meet him. -
