Maybe it's me, but I couldn't really like this film.
Tracy and Hepburn are usually very watchable, and Tracy's performance here is good, if limited by the amount of work he has to do. I thought Hepburn was miscast and missed her usual repartee that we have seen in her other films.
A personal dislike of mine is the sort of wise-cracking, cynical guy played by Van Johnson. Again, I normally enjoy his work, but this sort of character often employed in this type of film from the 40s and 50s (see Kip Lurie in "Adam's Rib") I find becomes very wearing very quickly.
Angela Lansbury is and looks good in a role that foreshadows her role in "The Manchurian Candidate". She is a plus.
I felt the plot was also pretty weak, tough it does show that nothing much has changed in US politics it seems.
