Adam's Rib is quite an interesting movie soley based on it's premise and actors alone. Let's see, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn playing dueling lawyers on a case about a woman who may have shot at her philandering husband. Kate believes she's not guilty, because the husband got what was coming to him cheating on his poor wife!. So, um, where does that place Hepburn and Tracy in real life? One of the more famous adulterous pairs in history are playing dueling lawyers fighting over a case of a woman who may or may not have shot at her husband because he was cheating? Hmm interesting. Don't get me wrong, I loved the movie. Hepburn and Tracy are one of the most famous screen couples in history, and this proves it. Their repartee is amazing here. Also worth noting is the supporting cast, with of course, Judy Holliday in her screen debut as the wife of the philandering husband, and also David Wayne as the staple gay character (After all, this IS a George Cukor movie) All in all, one of the more famous comedies of the 1950;s.
