Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
So-so political comedy reflects lesser work by all.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 4/5 --
sassy, sparky, hilarious
Shadows on the Wall
It's a pleasure to watch because of the talent on display-and, this is me so let's be real, because its climactic scene is about the joys of public self-abasement.

Patheos
Rating: 1.5/4 --
The shock of State of the Union, Capra's last movie in a political vein, is its technical sloppiness.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Academy Award-winning screen icons Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn shine in a classic film about marriage, politics and the pursuit of the American dream.
When idealistic businessman Grant Matthews (Tracy) is chosen to run for the Presidency, he is caught between the ruthless ambition of a string-pulling newspaper owner and the integrity of his devoted wife (Hepburn). But just as Matthews embraces his ultimate goal, he realizes that he may have lost touch with the American people.
Masterfully directed by three-time Academy Award winner Frank Capra (It's A Wonderful Life, It Happened One Night), State Of The Union is a timeless crowd pleaser with a stellar supporting cast including Angela Lansbury, Van Johnson and Adolphe Menjou.
