Directed by George Cukor
George Cukor’s high-spirited comedy, pitting married lawyers against one another in the case of a wife who shot her husband, tests the limits of high-minded equality between the sexes, positing a jungle where it’s every woman for herself. Vis-à-vis Tracy, the whimsical open struggle between “Adam” and “Amanda” again puts modern man’s (exasperated) inner life on display, for which Tracy, the actor, was by now perfectly equipped.
