Adam's Rib

Adam's Rib

Eve.

Hmmm…where have we heard that name before? Oh yeah, she had this friend Adam way back in the beginning

Does Eve Kendall have any resemblance to the original gal? Well, she's Thornhill's helper; there's a little conflict in the relationship; they seem to complement each other; ultimately, she keeps Thornhill from having to face life alone. But there's an interesting image that seems to be a quick nod to another part of the Adam/Eve story. After Thornhill gets KO'd by one of the Professor's enforcers, we see him in the hospital with a sizable bruise under his ribs. One way or another, events surrounding Eve are responsible for this bruise, and we all know how Eve is created (in one version of the story) in Genesis—from Adam's rib.
