When idealistic businessman Grant Matthews (Spencer Tracy) is chosen to run for the Presidency, he is caught between the ruthless ambition of a string-pulling newspaper owner and the integrity of his devoted wife (Katharine Hepburn). But just as Matthews embraces his ultimate goal, he realizes that he may have lost touch with the American people. (Universal Pictures Home Entertainment)
