Adam's Rib (1949)

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn are a married couple who are both lawyers.  He is an Assistant DA while she is a defence lawyer.  In this show they are representing the opposite sides of an attempted murder by a jilted wife.  The battle of the sexes is represented very well in this show, but the performances by Tracy and Hepburn are off of the charts.  They made nine movies together and were adulterous lovers for most of their adult lives.  This was one of the most publicly known secrets in Hollywood.  That aside, I give this show a solid four out of five stars.
