Reviews

Motion Picture Daily

Sherwin Kane

It's a well-paced, light weight comedy with a facility for changing scene and mood that is thoroughly engaging throughout.

Pat and Mike may not be as memorable as their other pairings but the romantic sports comedy stands up on its own against their other films.

Its chief trouble is that it is packed with such long-drawn- out scenes as golfers lining up for crucial putts and carefully tapping a ball that is predestined by the script either to drop in or not to.

Coming hot on the heels of Adam's Rib (1949), one of their most successful comedies, Pat and Mike feels a bit tired, and its lackadaisical pacing feeds into the general sense of ennui.

The one that contains the classic line utilized in countless Tracy & Hepburn tribute pieces: "Not much meat on her, but what's there is cherce."
