Adam's Rib

Adam's Rib (1949) starring Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Judy Holliday, Tom Ewell. Tracy and Hepburn appear together in one of their celebrated pairings, as two lawyers on opposite sides in a murder case.  Tracy appears for the prosecution and Hepburn for the defense in the case of a woman (Holliday) who shot her cheating husband (Ewell). Of course, the case bleeds over into Amanda (Hepburn) and Adam's (Tracy) marriage because yes, they happen to be married to each other. I found this to be a pretty good entertainment, and you can't fault the star power of the actors. (Subtitles are available in English, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
