Typical American farce

This is a typical American farce. I don't mean to disparage it by saying this, just to state the type of movie it belongs to.
Tracy played by Katharine Hepburn is of course the central character of the film. In fact, I personally think that only Tracy played by her and Virginia Weidler, the little girl Dinah, are the most outstanding characters in this film. What about Cary Grant? The performance can only be said to be in the middle distance, but not lost. What about James Stewart? In fact, his interpretation of his comedy role in the film is actually very good, but how do you say it? Always feel that this comedy role does not suit James Stewar's personal temperament.
As I said just now, Tracy is of course the central character of this film. She is arrogant, arrogant, pursues perfection, and has some coldness [known as a "virgin goddess"] that has affected her two marriages, (rush He left his first husband and brought in her second husband [although he did not get married in the end]). Because she realized that her character was some kind of flaw for her during the re-contact with her first husband, so she sometimes became gentle. This moment of gentleness made her attract gossip reporters again. Macaulay.
I don't think the director's arrangement for the finale was a success, it always felt unreliable because the intricate emotional issues between her and her first husband Haven still exist, and I don't know when it will be again. Divorce, why did the director arrange such an ending? Is it because the comedy character (James Stewar) can't be the male lead?
