Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin wrote the screenplay.Adam and Amanda Bonner are wealthy married lawyers living in New York, he working for the district attorney's office and she working as a defense attorney. Adam gets assigned as prosecutor in the attempted-murder case of Doris Attinger (Judy Holliday), a housewife who followed her unfaithful husband to his mistress's apartment and shot him in the shoulder. Amanda, wishing to prove a point about feminism and the Double Standard, gets Doris to hire her as defense attorney, setting up the Bonners as opponents in court.

Angrish: Adam tends to transpose words or invert the pronunciation of words when frustrated or upset. | |

Adam and/or Eve: Obvious symbolism in naming the male lead in a battle-of-the-sexes comedy "Adam". | |

Ate His Gun | |
| Adam's Rib / int_37cb353b | comment |
Ate His Gun: Subverted. Adam puts a gun he had trained on his wife and the man who was in love with her in his mouth... and quite literally bites the barrel, revealing that it's made of licorice. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Adam's Rib / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Pretty much the entire concept of the trial with Adam and Amanda Bonner. Amanda represents Doris, a woman who nearly murdered her husband, claiming that if the sex of the parties on trial were switched, the jury would feel differently. While Adam grows upset with Amanda accusing her with disregard for the law, reminding her that no one, man or woman, has the right to take the law into their own hands, and that Amanda is using the case for her own selfish purposes. Neither side is technically wrong with their arguments. | |

Back-to-Back Poster: The poster features popular acting duo Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, as they play married lawyers who end up facing off against each other in the courtroom. While both are smiling on the poster, their determination is reflected in their arms crossed over their chests. | |
