Synopsis

An essential classic frequently cited as one of the greatest screwball comedies ever made, The Philadelphia Story also serves as a comical snapshot of the foibles and privilege of the Main Line’s heyday.

Review

Cukor's dedication to character, Philip Barry's delicious dialogue, and three of the most enchanting lead performances ever to grace the screen all combine to create the wittiest and most sophisticated comedy of the 1940s. Hepburn repeats her stage role as the Philadelphia socialite faced with a dilemma on her wedding day: who to marry. Stewart won an Oscar for his delightful performance as a reporter covering Hepburn's wedding; and Grant is the essence of charm as Kate's ex-husband.

Favorite Line

"The prettiest sight in this fine pretty world is the privileged class enjoying its privileges." --James Stewart as Macaulay Connor
