Adam’s Rib (1947)

Adam’s Rib (1947)

One of the best and funniest "battle of the sexes" films ever with Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn at the top of their game(s). Standout performances by Judy Holliday & Tom Ewell (and an annoying one by David Wayne) also mark this George Cukor directed film. Jean Hagen also appears. Ruth Gordon & Garson Kanin’s story received an Oscar nomination. Added to the National Film Registry in 1992. #22 on AFI’s 100 Funniest Movies list.

Tracy & Hepburn are married lawyers who find themselves on opposite sides of a case. Tracy is trying to prosecute Holliday for trying to kill her straying husband Ewell while Hepburn defends her (the double standard and all). Wayne is friend of Hepburn’s character who gets in the middle of the personal battle that develops between her and Tracy in parallel to their professional one.
