If I were a hardcore critique over movies of any genre and generation I couldn't even describe how genuinely entertaining Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy's combo had been. This is the second film the hit duo I ever saw (it's kinda hard to find these nice classic films these days), the first being Pat & Mike. Nevertheless they were even superb in this film! Since I saw "The Philadelphia Story" I gradually grasp how stunningly splendid watching Katharine Hepburn's flawless feat. She indeed didn't only possess those lovely accent, watertight visage and timeless beauty. I wouldn't doubt how she got those four major Oscars! (I still need to complete my collection, I've still need to find "The Lion in Winter" being one of her Oscar victories). Spencer Tracy's performance to my surprise ticked my lethargic senses. He wasn't that striking in Pat & Mike, but seeing his performance in this film convinced me he's indeed an actor worth searching for. No comparison, he can equal Hepburn's superbly intelligent flaunt as a husband who cannot easily submit his complacently but principle-centered ego over his wife's independently, uncompromising and intrepid character. Not only Adam's Rib outwitted its time by its brilliant cast, but the story itself is wily and simply compelling. For any age watching this outstanding comedy classic (and yeah! Even if its black and white
) they would understood the hilarity and reasonably thick substance of story formed into an interesting film.
