Adam's Rib (1949)
District attorney Adam Bonner is horrified to discover that he is opposing his own wife, Amanda, a lawyer, in a case where she is representing Doris Attinger, who is accused of shooting her husband when she caught him with another woman. Not only is it difficult for Adam to go against Amanda in court, but she also consistently advocates for the idea that women should have the same rights as men, using this argument to successfully acquit Doris.
