This might be one of my Favorite KH Performances - This is a perfect example of the chemistry between Tracy and Hepburn. Really Strong performances and the topic is really revolutionary at the time. and the balance between the marriage of the couple and really what it means to be married and also the equality that often times does not show up within marriage. the storytelling and the bits of Humor really brought this movie to the forefront - Surprised that KH was not even Nominated for this performance!

Watched on TMC tonight. Listed as a romcom. It's the opposite. Silly, contrived, poorly acted, typical of movies of that era. Attempted murder isn't funny no matter the rationalization. Skip this one.

As a fan of Tracy and Hepburn, I really wanted to love this movie but I think the most I can manage is mild appreciation. It certainly has its good points. Tracy and Hepburn click very well together (as they usually did) and they have a good supporting cast. The problem is that the silliness of the situation wears very thing, very quickly. It's worth the time for Tracy and Hepburn fans but is probably too dated for anybody else to really enjoy. They did better in other films together.

It was absolutely painful to watch. The screaming, fighting, violence, and threatened violence both emotional and physical was a chore to sit through. The ending was implausible but typically Hollywood. The Kip character was a nightmare. That said, the acting was great among the secondary characters, and the Tracey-Hepburn chemistry was intense. I truly wonder what audiences experienced back in the era.

One of the AFI top ten romantic films (somehow). A lighthearted look at a miscarriage of justice that is meant to be some kind of ribald comedy about gender prejudice but misses the target entirely. Not funny or entertaining, it nowadays feels like a drag to watch. Bought this one on DVD as not on the or streaming in the UK.

Probably the best Tracy-Hepburn film.

This Cukor directed rom com re-teams Tracy and Hepburn with an extremely well written script, elements that together help overcome a somewhat shallow and predictable plot. One can't help but wonder if a lot of the strength in this script about a husband and wife having their professional and home lives converge comes as a result of the writer's, Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, real life marriage. Katherine Hepburn was easily my favorite to watch, in a role tackling themes that seem far less progressive over 70 years later, while sadly still easily recognizable as well. This likely won't offer anyone a transformational experience but can still provide a satisfying watch as we witness two extremely compatible, top tier, actors working with the sort of script that only accentuates their strengths.

"First of all, I should like to say at the outset that I think that the arguments advanced by the consel for the defense were sound. Mere sound." Any film that bases itself on gender roles is going to age a bit with time, as the social politics will naturally evolve to the point where the dynamics aren't exactly up to date; when you're going through jury selection and potential jurors unironically and confidently express that they are against equalt treatment of the sexes, it gives the viewers a bit of a pause as to just how much different the world of George Cukor is from that of today. What themes today seem obvious were likely considered preachy, overzealous, and an attack on American values by many audience members in 1949 (and if they weren't outraged by Katherine Hepburn extolling the need for gender equality, the presence of a black man on the jury probably sent them over the edge). Despite Cukor's esteem there is a noticeable bit of irregularity in the directing, with a small handful of the longer, dialogue-heavy scenes allowing a couple of flubs in line delivery. While you could nitpick parts of gender role treatment of the film until the cows come home, it's easier to appreciate a solid romcom with good chemistry between its leads and a well-constructed sense of comedy and social progressivism. Where do you even find a licorice gun? (3.5/5)

Classic comedy with great acting and directing

George Cukor's Adam's Rib is a lighthearted, sophisticated comedy with a serious underlying theme. The famous chemistry between Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn fills up the screen, and the supporting cast members are wonderful, colorful and very effective.

Tracy and Hepburn's best pairing! Excellent script and supporting cast, with the exception of the repulsive caricature of the Jewish court clerk, who asks, incredulously, "Pinky?"

*only viewed once* Rom-com involving two lawyers that are assigned to the same case; prosecuting and criminal defense. Writing, directing, editing are all well done. Easy to watch and much comedic moments; I'd guess 10-20 good laughs. Length of movie is perfect. Katharine plays a semi-strong, witty feminist, while Spencer plays the angry sexist. There is no violence between the couple, which I can appreciate. Scenery was quite engaging between lawyer offices, accounting office, apartments, fancy dinner party, court rooms, and a countryside home. Well played, B

Slow. Plays like a mediocre sitcom.

Solid comedy with likable leads.

It is a GREAT MOVIE, "Adam's Rib"(1949), that I have seen a number of times, on my 온라인카지노추천(I recently saw this on my 온라인카지노추천 at 9:10pm(CT) Saturday March 07, 2020!)! (My comments here were done at 11:37am(CT) Sunday March 08, 2020.)

Society begins to see that men can get away with anything, but women must fit a defined role. Hepburn describes this double standard well in court, with its clear relevance to society in general. This kind of tom-foolery would never be allowed in a real courtroom, but the movie gets kudos for its message. It is one of the first "message" movies that try to move civilization forward. Hepburn was a progressive and this fit into her worldview well.

The best, GREATEST courtroom romcom movie ever made!

This film was solid.

Like a lot of madcap, screwball comedies from the era, "Adam's Rib's" antics may border upon complete frustrating, but I think that -- by the ending -- you soon realize that it's kind of the point of the entire film, and that the subtle wit of real life couple/screenwriting duo Ruth Gordon & Garson Kanin is what's really powering this effort. The real-life chemistry between lead actors Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn doesn't hurt either, but I think it's the inherent promise and humor built into this premise that ultimately makes this one of the more watchable screwball efforts of the 1940's.

Classic old pix. hepburn and tracy are great.
