...enough in those days. The real twist, however, was that Tracy, the flawed husband, would still make a great President, especially in comparison with the corrupt political professionals around him. For a while, they persuade him to mount the standard campaign of dealmaking, double-talk and false promises, until Hepburn brings him back to his senses and to her. But at that point he drops out of the race.

That means getting his estranged wife, played by Katharine Hepburn, to agree to act the contented spouse on the campaign trail...
