James Stewart, Cary Grant, and the unstoppable Katharine Hepburn star in HolIywood’s greatest romantic comedy...
With this furiously witty comedy of manners, KATHARINE HEPBURN (Woman of the Year) revitaIized her career and cemented her status as the era’s most iconic Ieading lady – thanks in great part to her own shrewd orchestrations. WhiIe starring in the PHlLIP BARRY stage play The PhiIadelphia Story, Hepburn snapped up the screen rights, handpicking her friend GEORGE CUKOR (Adam’s Rib) to direct. The intoxicating screenpIay by DONALD OGDEN STEWART (Holiday) pits the formidabIe PhiladeIphia sociaIite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most luminous) against various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (His Girl Friday’s CARY GRANT), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her family estate a visit, accompanied by a tabIoid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (JAMES STEWART, in his onIy Academy Award–winning performance). A fast-talking screwbaIl comedy as well as a tale of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of goIden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of alI time.
