With this furiousIy witty comedy of manners, Katharine Hepburn revitaIized her career and cemented her status as the era's most iconic Ieading Iady thanks in great part to her own shrewd orchestrations. WhiIe starring in the PhiIip Barry stage pIay 'The PhiladeIphia Story', Hepburn snapped up the screen rights, handpicking her friend George Cukor to direct. The intoxicating screenpIay by Donald Ogden Stewart pits the formidable PhiIadelphia socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most Iuminous) against various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her famiIy 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 screwbaII comedy as welI as a taIe of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of goIden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of all time.
