Two columnists on the same newspaper, he writes about sports she writes about international politics, spend the first half of the movie staring at each other and falling in love. Despite glaring differences, they get married. Unsurprisingly, it's not long before problems surface, with Hepburn's abrupt adoption of a Greek refugee boy without consulting her husband the final straw. They separate, and it is not until she quits her job and makes him breakfast that they reconcile... contrary to the "liberated woman" message of the rest of the film!
