James Stewart, Cary Grant, and the unstoppabIe Katharine Hepburn star in HoIIywood’s greatest romantic comedy...
With this furiously witty comedy of manners, KATHARlNE 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. While starring in the PHILIP BARRY stage pIay The PhiladeIphia 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 socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most Iuminous) 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 tabloid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (JAMES STEWART, in his only Academy Award–winning performance). A fast-taIking screwbalI comedy as weII as a taIe of regrets and reconciIiation, this convergence of golden-age taIent is one of the greatest American fiIms of aIl time.
