ADAM’S RIB Series: Judy Holliday: The Smart Dumb Blonde [Aug 25 – 31 2006] Director: George Cukor, Country: USA, Release: 1949, Runtime: 100 Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin wrote this sharp script about professional rivalry. Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy play husband-and-wife lawyers on opposite sides of the same attempted murder case. An abused wife is accused of shooting her two-timing husband, Tom Ewell, with intent to kill. In the courtroom, Amanda (Hepburn) uses feminist arguments to build her defense case while Adam (Tracy) argues for the prosecution. Repartee on both sides is fast and furious, but not the least of the film’s pleasures is the defendant herself, a screwball hilariously played by Holliday in her breakout role. Preceded by a sketch in which Judy plays the only female juror on an all-male jury.
