Adam's Rib Reviews

---

Adam's Rib
The ultimate battle of the sexes comedy, which of course leads to romance. Perhaps Tracy and Hepburns best overall film, its packed with charm, humor and intelligence and their powerful onscreen chemistry. The script is razor sharp and the supporting performances from newcomers Ewell, Holliday and David Wayne first rate.

cracking dialogue
I agree with the reviewer on the "Sweet Smell of Success" cracking dialogue, but this one is quite good. "Desk Set" is another one. Now that I think of it, Hepburn's "The Philadelphia Story" and "Bringing Up Baby" also have wonderful dialogue. Of course, Howard Hawks was good at this, too, with "The Big Sleep", "To Have and Have Not", "His Girl Friday", "Ball of Fire", and "Monkey Business" all offering fantastic, and fast-paced banter. Add to this Robert Mitchum's "Out of the Past", "Casablanca", "The Maltese Falcon", "Citizen Kane", and a couple Lubitsch-"To Be or Not To Be" and "Cluny Brown", and you have some good speaking.
