State of the Union is a 1948 film adaptation written by Myles Connolly and Anthony Veiller of the Russel Crouse, Howard Lindsay play of the same title. Directed by Frank Capra and starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, the film is Capra's first and only project for MGM Pictures. The screenplay deviated most from the play in its absence of the play's sardonic wit and more controversial themes.

  • State of the Union is a 1948 film adaptation written by Myles Connolly and Anthony Veiller of the Russel Crouse, Howard Lindsay play of the same title. Directed by Frank Capra and starring Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, the film is Capra's first and only project for MGM Pictures. The screenplay deviated most from the play in its absence of the play's sardonic wit and more controversial themes. Originally, actress Claudette Colbert was cast as Mary, the wife of Grant Matthews (played by Spencer Tracy) but rumors of disagreements with Capra and a reported "back" injury led to the weekend casting of Hepburn, Tracy's longtime companion. Other behind the scenes tensions were between Adolphe Menjou, a onetime member the McCarthyist group Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, and his former co-star Katharine Hepburn, as well as Hepburn and the much younger Angela Lansbury. The film was produced entirely by Capra's own company, Liberty Films. In order to cast MGM contract player Tracy in the film, the latter studio bought the distribution rights. In fact, many of the major actors in the film were under contract with MGM also. Capra bought the film after its initial theatrical release. After Capra's company folded, Liberty Films' assets were acquired by Paramount Pictures. It has since had limited availability on VHS home video and until recently has been unavailable on DVD. EMKA, Ltd. /NBC Universal currently owns the rights to the film due to it being a part of Paramount's pre-1950 library. Universal Studios Home Entertainment released a DVD version on August 29, 2006.

  • El estado de la unión es una obra teatral escrita por Russel Crouse y Howard Lindsay, ganadora del Premio Pulitzer en 1946. La obra fue adaptada al cine y dirigida por Frank Capra en 1948. La película, estelarizada por Spencer Tracy y Katharine Hepburn, fue el primer y único proyecto realizado por Capra para la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. El guión, escrito por Myles Connolly y Anthony Veiller, se diferencia principalmente de la obra teatral debido a la ausencia del tono sarcástico y la temática más controversial presentes en el original. Capra adquirió la película, que había sido coproducida por su propia compañía y MGM, luego de su estreno en los cines. Cuando Liberty Films se declaró en quiebra, sus bienes fueron comprados por Paramount Pictures. Desde entonces, la disponibilidad del film en VHS ha sido limitada y, hasta hace poco, no existía en formato DVD. En la actualidad, EMKA, Ltd. /NBC Universal es propietaria de los derechos de la película por formar parte de la filmoteca previa a 1950 de la Paramount. Universal Studios Home Entertainment lanzó una versión en DVD el 29 de agosto de 2006.
