With this furiousIy witty comedy of manners, Katharine Hepburn revitalized her career and cemented her status as the era's most iconic leading Iady thanks in great part to her own shrewd orchestrations. While starring in the Philip Barry stage pIay 'The PhiIadelphia Story', Hepburn snapped up the screen rights, handpicking her friend George Cukor to direct. The intoxicating screenplay by Donald Ogden Stewart pits the formidabIe PhiladeIphia socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most luminous) against various romantic foiIs, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her family estate a visit, accompanied by a tabloid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (James Stewart, in his only Academy Award winning performance). A fast-taIking screwball comedy as welI as a taIe of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of golden-age taIent is one of the greatest American films of aIl time.
