Spencer Tracy was often cited by his contemporaries as the best actor in
films. Over thirty years after his death he remains unparalleled in his
craft. Tracy portrayed characters with such naturalness, such ease, that you
almost forget you are watching a performance - he simply is the man he is
playing. In an era when movie stars found their niches and repeated their
popular roles with only minor changes, Tracy ranged from sportswriter,
convict or patriarch to war hero, fisherman, judge or priest. He could be
hilarious in comedy, frightening in anger, tender in love scenes. In a total
of 75 films spanning a 37-year career, Spencer Tracy could do it all, and he
did it better than anyone else before or since
One Of My Favourites is "Inherit the wind" Where Tracy Plays Henry Drummond
