Re-creating
the role she originated in Philip Barry's wickedly witty Broadway play, Katharine Hepburn stars as
the spoiled and snobby socialite Tracy Lord in this sparkling 1940 screen adaptation of
The Philadelphia Story, one of
the great romantic comedies from
the golden age of MGM studios. Applying her impossibly high ideals to everyone but herself, Tracy is about to marry a stuffy executive when her congenial ex-husband (Cary Grant), arrives to protect his former fa
ther-in-law from a potentially scandalous tabloid exposé. In an Oscar-winning role, James Stewart is
the scandal reporter who falls for Tracy as her wedding day arrives, throwing her into a dizzying state of premarital jitters. Who will join Tracy at
the altar? Snappy dialogue flows like sparkling wine under
the sophisticated direction of George Cukor in this film that turned
the tide of Hepburn's career from "box-office poison" to glamorous Hollywood star.
