December 4 movie: Adam's Rib. I've never really gotten the appeal of the Hepburn/Tracy movies. They always seem to end up with Hepburn debasing herself for Tracy, and what's so romantic about that? But then again, I'd only ever seen the lesser ones, like Desk Set. So I decided, what the heck, I'd try one of their best and see how I like it. Well I did enjoy it a lot. The humor is fairly hostile, but no more so than any romantic comedy of the era. And at least Hepburn holds her own.
