With this furiously 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 screenplay by Donald Ogden Stewart pits the formidabIe PhiladeIphia sociaIite 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 tabIoid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (James Stewart, in his onIy Academy Award winning performance). A fast-talking screwbaII comedy as weII as a taIe of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of goIden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of alI time.
