Have You Ever Seen14 Heinä 2023

Adam's Rib

Spencer Tracy & Katharine Hepburn were a great duo and they made many movies together, but they specialized in romantic comedies. Adam's Rib is a rom-com that does a great job with the rom, but isn't nearly funny enough to be called great at the com. The plot has some problems too. George Cukor's courtroom movie has been acclaimed by nearly everybody, but Ryan took real issue in this solo venture with the way Hepburn defends her client. Still, Cukor and his stars pieced together a well-made movie, even if the laughs are lacking. So don't cry (or pretend to cry) about our 524th Have You Ever Seen podcast, but settle in with your Pinky and hear what one man has to say about Adam's Rib.

Well, Actually: Frances McDormand DOES have 4 Oscars just like Hepburn does, but one of those was for producing Nomadland, so it's correct to say she's won 3 Oscars for acting specifically.

Moulin Rouge
