Adam's Rib

N.p. N.p., Circa 1949. Vintage reference photograph from the 1949 film, showing actors Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Layout annotations in manuscript ink and pencil on the verso.

The sixth entry in the Hepburn-Tracy canon, and for many, the pair at their peak, a nonstop battle-of-the-sexes gabfest. Written by Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin, the same writing team who produced "Pat and Mike" the following year. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Screenplay.

Set and shot on location in New York City and Newtown, Connecticut.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with moderate foxing on the verso.
