Editorial Reviews

Sophisticated and sublime, Adam's Rib is one of George Cukor's finest collaborations with Katharine Hepburn. In this romantic comedy Adam and Amanda Bonner (Spencer Tracy and Hepburn), two lawyers who happen to be married, take on opposing sides of a highly publicized case. The crime in question involves a distressed wife (Judy Holliday) who shoots and wounds her philandering husband. For Amanda the trial becomes a cause for women's rights. For Adam, the prosecuting attorney, the trial becomes a travesty of justice. By juxtaposing the Bonners' public and private worlds, the courthouse and the country house, Cukor highlights with great wit the give-and-take between happily married partners, from role playing to verbal jousting. Written by a real-life married couple, Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, the movie is enlivened by the sparks that fly between Hepburn and Tracy, unmarried lovers in real-life, as well as by Holliday's artfully daffy performance.

May 18, 2008: I have to say that I love Spencer and Katie no matter what the're in. If you have seen one of there films together you've seen them all. Seriously it is the exact same story line everytime. The interesting part about all their films is that I never get sick of the story line. The chemistry is amazing and I love that Hepburn always gets a little to crazy and Tracey has to do something drastic to pull her back to reality and ultimatly him.

March 16, 2001: Adam's Rib is the best movie! I loved it from the frist five minutes to the very last line! It is full of romance, comedy,and what makes this masterpeice a wonderful flim is that it is a classic battle between the sexes.... That has to be what everybody wants, isn't it? Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy ROCK!!!!
