Courtroom has never been so much fun!

Personally I love this movie. Its so up to date, despite the time it was created in. The chemistry between Hepburn & Spencer is electrifying that it doesn't fall short of being convincing. Here are two attorneys, married & settled until a jealous woman attempts to murder her unfaithful husband. Spencer is chosen to defend the man, tempting Hepburn to take the opposition, to stand for her own belief in "EQUALITY for Women". As the case proceeds, so does the competitiveness between the couple & more contempt. To make the flaming affair worse, a friendly neighbor keeps coming for Hepburn, behaving condescending towards Spencer & stealing the attention of his wife in humorous ways. All the action makes Spencer bitter enough to leave the house. The rest you gotta watch to believe. It's a comedy all the way. Very entertaining for all ages & without doubt the characters portrayed are universal. A great script, with a superb performance by the best actor/actress ever! See it to believe it!
