"10.7.12. DVD Hauskassa screwballissa Spencer Tracyn ja Katharine Hepburnin esittämät konservatiivinen ja liberaali aviopari joutuvat työskentelemään saman oikeusjutun parissa. Tracy joutuu puolustamaan naistaan pettänyttä aviomiestä, joka joutuu ammutuksi. Hepburn joutuu puolustamaan vuorostaan naista, jota mies on laiminlyönyt, pahoinpidellyt ja kohdellut muutenkin sikamaisesti. Soppaa hämmentää myös pariskunnan pianistina työskentelevä naapuri, joka yrittää kaikkensa liehit"
