Adam's Rib Ratings & Reviews
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 12, 2025To it's credit it's a feminist film that seems to really want to promote equality more than anything else. It has moments that are laid on a little thick and are almost theatre-like but from the off it flags that it's not going for subtlety. It does however have one of the most irritating characters I've ever come across, him being just one of the reasons I didn't rate it that highly.
- Mister ArnFebruary 8, 2025Woman's lib theme that's really not too dated considering it was made in 1949. It's really surprising how little has changed in more than 50 years.
