Tracy was romantic, something he had struggled with previously. This film, as much as any other, helped to make him a super-star.

Inevitablemente, surge una estrecha relación entre ambos.Tracy won his first Oscar for his portrayal of the loyal priest. This role changed Tracy's career and opened up doors for him.
- DirectorFritz LangEstrellasSylvia SidneySpencer TracyWalter AbelWhen a wrongly-accused prisoner barely survives a lynch-mob attack and is presumed dead, he vindictively decides to fake his death and frame the mob for his supposed murder.Tracy is dynamite as the wrongly-accused man. This film, along with "San Francisco", vaulted Tracy to the A-list.
- DirectorVictor FlemingEstrellasSpencer TracyFreddie BartholomewLionel BarrymoreUn niño mimado que cae por la borda de un barco de vapor en la década de 1920 es recogido por un barco de pesca de Nueva Inglaterra, donde debe ganarse la vida uniéndose a la tripulación en su trabajo.Tracy would win his second Oscar in a row, with his portrayal of a Portuguese fisherman.
- DirectorNorman TaurogEstrellasSpencer TracyMickey RooneyHenry HullCuando un preso condenado a muerte le dice que no habría llevado una vida delictiva si solo hubiera tenido un amigo cuando era niño, el padre Edward Flanagan decide iniciar un hogar para niños pequeños.Tracy was nominated for his 3rd Oscar in a row and won his 2nd in a row. He play Father Flanagan with warmth and strength.
- DirectorJack ConwayEstrellasJean HarlowWilliam PowellMyrna LoyCuando una mujer de la alta sociedad demanda a un gran periódico por difamación, el director responsable recurre a la ayuda de su prometida ignorada y de un antiguo empleado para inculparla y hacer que la falsa historia parezca cierta.Tracy was now on a roll. MGM was setting him up with great cast-mates and solid scripts, and Tracy was delivering career-defining performances.
- DirectorClarence BrownEstrellasSpencer TracyRita JohnsonLynne Overman82-year-old inventor and entrepreneur Thomas Alva Edison is honored in 1929 and he reflects back on his sixty-year career of scientific achievement.Tracy's uncanny resemblance to Edison, and his ability to bring a realism to even the most idealized characters, made him the perfect man for this film. He is wonderful in it.
- DirectoresHenry KingOtto BrowerEstrellasSpencer TracyNancy KellyRichard GreeneTasked by his editor, American reporter Henry M. Stanley travels to a dangerous and uncharted region of East Africa to find the missing Scottish pioneer missionary Dr. David Livingstone.Tracy was loaned out to his old home for this adventure film. Tracy takes his mugging, street-smart character to the jungle.
- DirectorJack ConwayEstrellasClark GableSpencer TracyClaudette ColbertDos amigos que pasan de ser cazadores salvajes poco fiables a magnates del petróleo durante un período de diez años, están enamorados de la misma mujer.Another Gable and Tracy affair. With a little too much going on, it does not reach the levels of "San Francisco", yet the two stars make a formidable team and carry most of the picture.
- DirectorFrank BorzageEstrellasSpencer TracyLoretta YoungMarjorie RambeauCharming vagabond Bill takes young, unemployed Trina into his depression camp cabin. Later, just as he convinces showgirl Fay La Rue to support him, Trina discovers she's pregnant.This is a great forgotten little gem from Columbia pictures. Spencer Tracy is funny, tough, and charming as the homeless huckster Bill. Tracy works wonderfully with Loretta Young, as their off-screen romance spills over into their performances. This was easily Tracy's best performance up till then, as his Bill is utterly believable, whereas the dialogue in "The Power and the Glory" could, at times, seem forced.
- DirectorWilliam K. HowardEstrellasSpencer TracyColleen MooreRalph MorganThe tragic life story of a power-hungry industrialist is recounted in the aftermath of his death.Tracy is quite powerful as Tom Garner, an important railroad man. The story bounces between young and old Tom as he becomes more successful, but less happy. Tracy plays both the simple, gentle young Tom and the bitter, angry old Tom with genuine emotion. Though Sturges script isn't as good as some remember, it is still "Citizen Kane"- light, which is far better than anything else Tracy was being offered at the time.
- DirectoresFrank BorzageGeorge B. SeitzEstrellasSpencer TracyLuise RainerCharley GrapewinTo avoid a taxi war, city officials blame a gang bombing on driver Joe Benton's wife Anna and put her on a ship to deport her.

- DirectorMichael CurtizEstrellasSpencer TracyBette DavisArthur ByronEl temerario matón Tom Connors entra en Sing Sing seguro de sí mismo e irrespetuoso con la autoridad, pero su duro pero compasivo alcaide lo cambia.Spencer Tracy deliver in this drama directed by Michael Curtiz. Tracy co-stars with the incomparable Bette Davis in this prison film. He gets to display his volatile acting style and worked wonderfully with the young Davis.
- DirectorJ. Walter RubenEstrellasJean HarlowSpencer TracyUna MerkelEl atunero Dutch se casa con Hattie, una trabajadora de la fábrica de conservas. Dutch es expulsado de su sindicato y despedido de su trabajo, por lo que Hattie roba una cantidad de dinero para él y termina en prisión.Tracy has great chemistry with Harlow and is, of course, good as a fast talking mugg. This was Tracy's first picture as a contract player at MGM, and he immediately benefits from that studio's sense of artistry. Though the picture was a quickie by MGM's standards, it was still much better than the films that Tracy was working in at Fox, his previous studio.
- DirectorJohn W. Considine Jr.EstrellasSpencer TracySally EilersEl BrendelWhen motorcycle cop Dick Fay gives a ticket to Phyllis Crawford, her father's graft-fed influence leads to his demotion to foot patrolman. When Fay leads a raid on a gangster's place he discovers Phyllis there, helps her escape, then blackmails her father.Finally, Spencer Tracy was able to open up, and deliver a really good performance. Of course, being Fox in the early 30's, the material was second-rate. However, Tracy was able to deliver an electric performance as a cop who makes one terrible mistake.

- DirectorRowland BrownEstrellasSpencer TracyMarguerite ChurchillSally EilersTruck driver Bugs Raymond organizes the trucking associations and takes protection money. Now rich, he decides to marry socialite Dorothy Stone. She rejects him for another, so he plots to kidnap her on her wedding day.Spencer Tracy plays the lead in this B-picture from Fox. He is much better here than in his first feature, "Up the River". He again plays a good guy, who slowly loses his morals, and ends up a bad guy. This time, however, he is much more convincing than in "Up the River".
- DirectorRaoul WalshEstrellasSpencer TracyJoan BennettMarion BurnsYoung New York cop Dan falls in love with waterfront waitress Helen. Helen's sister Kate falls for gangster Duke. Dan must do in Duke.Tracy gets to play opposite Joan Bennett for the second time in his short career, and shines. This was his eighth and final film in 1932, as Tracy worked for both Fox and was loaned out to MGM and producer Howard Hughes.
- DirectorGeorge CukorEstrellasSpencer TracyKatharine HepburnRichard WhorfEl periodista Steve O'Malley quiere escribir una biografía de un héroe nacional que murió cuando su coche cayó por un puente. Steve recibe informes e historias contradictorias con las que se cuestiona cuál es la verdad sobre este héroe.Tracy and Hepburn's second movie together.

When he loses his job he takes one wearing a sandwich board.
