In this smart classic comedy, iconic screen team Hepburn and Tracy play a feminist attorney and her DA husband who find themselves on opposing sides of a trial. She, defending a woman charged with attempted shooting of her cheating husband. He, defending the hubby.  As the married legal duo go at the case –  and each other —rivalry mounts. At once knowing and very funny, the film offers rare insights into emerging feminism  and dual standards of its time. That it looks at women’s inequality under the law makes it topical today.

Golden Globe Award: Judy Holliday, Best Supporting Actress
