How did you miss this? Great indeed.

I love Adam's Rib. Also Woman of the Year. You should try Philadelphia Story -- no Spencer, but still good.

For some reason, Philadelphia Story left me cold. I don't like any of the characters much, including Kate's, and that "ah, she was yar" line drives me nuts.

I'm a huge fan of 30s/40s cinema, and somehow overlooked this one until now. Spencer Tracy is great in just about everything he does, but when he's playing opposite Kate, you can absolutely feel the realness of their mutual attraction. Awesome stuff.

That's one of my mom's favorites.

I adore The Philadelphia Story, but have you seen Desk Set? Hepburn as librarian, Tracy as computer guy whose machine will change everything? Sizzling.

I, too, love The Philadephia Story. May I suggest Bringig Up Baby? You either hate it or love it. I LOVE it.

I have terribly mixed feelings about The Philadelphia Story, which my partner aptly described as "an anti-feminist spanking machine."

But Adam's Rib freaking rocks, makes me laugh and makes me angry in all the right places, and Judy Holiday's supporting role tops it all off. Boy oh boy, do I love her. (Miko, if you liked Holiday as the defendant, check out Born Yesterday.)

(Incidentally, George Cukor directed both Adam's Rib and Born Yesterday, and Garson Kanin co-wrote both of them.)
