ADAM'S RIB (1949) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - George Cukor

Written by - Ruth Gordon, Garson Kanin

Starring - Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Holliday, Tom Ewell, David Wayne, Jean Hagen

"A married couple, both lawyers, find domestic and professional tensions mounting between them when they take opposing sides on a case involving a woman who shot her husband. 

George Cukor’s Adam’s Rib is a delightfully witty comment on equality of sex which deals with its theme in a way that even feels ahead of its time. It also stands as a solid and entertaining representation of the screwball comedy genre that was so popular around the golden age of Hollywood. 

Of course, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy share an unsurpassed kind of chemistry on the screen and deliver line upon line to each other with biting finesse. "
