I DON'T WANT A COMPETITOR, I WANT A WIFE!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2008

The story begins with Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday) waiting outside her husband's (Warren Attinger - Tom Ewell) office to follow him when he leaves to what she believes will be a romantic tryst. We get an idea of her motive when she drops her purse and a small revolver spills out. Her hunch is right, and after reading the directions how to use the weapon, she closes her eyes and starts shooting, wounding but not killing, her husband. The story shifts to a stylish apartment building where a servant is bringing breakfast to the bedroom of Adam (Tracy) and Amanda (Hepburn) Bonner. They scan the lead stories as they eat and prepare for work, noting the attempted murder story. Adam arrives at his office (Assistant District Attorney) and discovers he has been assigned to the case which he assumes will be a 'slam dunk'. He calls to tell Amanda, an attorney in private practice, the news and rub it in how he will put this one away quickly. Amanda hangs up on him, determined to defend this woman, believing women are treated differently than men and that this woman was justified in her actions. The movie shifts to the courtroom where the action and the fun begins. Each night the trial carries over into their personal life. A little dated now, it was somewhat shocking in 1949 that a woman could, heaven forbid, compete in the 'men's domain'. Where are there inequities today that need to be corrected? The chemistry between Tracy & Hepburn is at its best and makes for a very funny, romantic comedy that deserves its place in AFI' Top 100 Laughs. Enjoy! WWW.LUSREVIEWS.BLOGSPOT.COM

An All-Time Classic 'Battle of the Sexes' is a 'sheer joy'!

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 1998

"Adam's Rib' is arguably the greatest Tracy-Hepburn film, and is certainly the most popular of their teamings. Brightly written (by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin), it takes the premise of the trial of a wife (the sparkling Judy Holliday, in her film debut) shooting her unfaithful husband (Tom Ewell, establishing himself in the kind of role he'd reprise in The Seven-Year Itch), and turns it into a forum for sexual values in the '40s, and a showcase for the fabulous Tracy and Hepburn. The two were never better than as the battling D.A. and defense attorney. In the courtroom and out, the love they share, and tweaking of each other's egos, is a sheer joy to watch. That the story is also a knowing commentary about women's inequality under the law makes the film even more topical today, and doesn't reduce the film's enjoyment value at all. It is a VERY funny film, and can be enjoyed at MANY levels! David Wayne's smarmy songwriter-neighbor sings 'Goodbye, Amanda', a song written by Cole Porter for the film (In fact, Hepburn's character's name in the film was changed to Amanda, to fit Porter's song!) Favorite scenes include the 'home movie', which accurately reflects Tracy and Hepburn's own relationship; the infamous massage scene ("I know a slap...!"); and Tracy's licorice-gun confrontation, and crying-on-demand scene. A Classic that deserves it's reputation

You can't beat Tracy and Hepburn for a terrific romantic comedy. Throw in David Wayne as a would-be interloper and you have a perfect combination.

Interesting Sex Roles

I’m liked this for a historical point of view. Didn’t know the roles of women were discussed like this at the time. I didn’t like some of the dialogue between the couple.

My 13 year old loves history and is on a kick of learning about strong women of days gone by. She convinced to “rent” this movie one Friday night as she’s currently obsessed with Katharine Hepburn. I will admit given the description of the movie I was prepared for a snorefest however, I truly enjoyed the movie! In fact, we liked it so much that we bought it to keep in our Amazon streaming library for viewing at our leisure.

This is a very funny movie starring the ever delightful Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. It's funny that the issues attacked in this movie are still with us today. As always with these two actors, entertaining to laugh out loud moments.
