(George Cukor, US 1949, 100 min., 35mm)

This sophisticated screwball pits unbending DA Spencer Tracy against his talented lawyer/wife Katharine Hepburn in an attempted murder case involving Judy Holliday as a jealous lover with a knack for mishandling handguns. Adam’s Rib is generally regarded as the best of the Hepburn-Tracy collaborations, as well as perhaps the quintessential “Battle of the Sexes” comedy.
