Adam's Rib

There are two types of feminism: one demands respect for both genders, the other demands identical outcomes for them.

The flaws in this latter form of feminism become apparent in this silver screen battle of the sexes. When Doris Attinger finds her husband with another woman, she takes a shot at him and is charged with attempted murder. Adam Bonner is assigned to prosecute the case, and to his surprise his wife Amanda Bonner takes on the defense. But Amanda doesn't care if her client is innocent or guilty - she instead argues that her client should be set free because that's what a jury would do if they were dealing with a man caught in similar circumstances. Amanda doesn't want justice; she wants equal injustice for all. So it's up to Adam to convince the jury - and his wife - that equal injustice just isn't just.

This is a witty, dialogue driven movie that you have to watch right to the end for a satisfying but surprising conclusion
