Movie - The Philadelphia Story

Introduction by film historian Glenn Andreiev

With this furiously witty comedy, Katharine Hepburn revitalized her career and cemented her status as the era’s most iconic leading lady. As the formidable Philadelphia socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn) prepares for the wedding of the year, she must contend with various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage accompanied by a tabloid reporter (James Stewart, in an Academy Award–winning performance). A convergence of golden-age talent, this fast-talking screwball comedy is one of the greatest American films of all time.
