Review of Adam's Rib

Adam's Rib (1949)
8/10
One of the most charmed films ever.
4 March 1999
This film is a magnificent story that mixes court-room drama with marriage comedy, in a very intelligent and sophisticated way, showing not just the man-woman troubles on a relationship, but also the incoherency of some trial situations. As this wasn't enough, "Adam's Rib" has, perhaps, the greatest movie-couple of all time, Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, masterly directed by George Cukor (and you thought that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan were the perfect couple, junior).

Saying that this film is just a romantic comedy is to under-rate him, but labeling it as just a court-room motion picture is way too judicious, having in mind the good humour that its issues are leaded.

If you have time to spend and nothing to do, go straight to your video store and rent it. If you don't have the time, redo your schedule and find some time to see it. It's worth it.
