| DVD Description Re-creating the role she originated in Philip Barry's wickedly witty Broadway play, Katharine Hepburn stars as the spoiled and snobby socialite Tracy Lord in this sparkling 1940 screen adaptation of The Philadelphia Story, one of the great romantic comedies from the golden age of MGM studios. Applying her impossibly high ideals to everyone but herself, Tracy is about to marry a stuffy executive when her congenial ex-husband (Cary Grant), arrives to protect his former father-in-law from a potentially scandalous tabloid exposé. In an Oscar-winning role, James Stewart is the scandal reporter who falls for Tracy as her wedding day arrives, throwing her into a dizzying state of premarital jitters. Who will join Tracy at the altar? Snappy dialogue flows like sparkling wine under the sophisticated direction of George Cukor in this film that turned the tide of Hepburn's career from "box-office poison" to glamorous Hollywood star. --Jeff Shannon |

Fantastic Leading Lady This movie is all about Kathern Hepburn. She carries the movie from beginning to end with her endearing charm and wit. She is so much fun to watch and never disappoints. You can see why she was such a big star. Of course the movie wouldn't be what it was without its leading men. Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart play opposite her with such ease, charm, and sex appeal and the result is a highly entertaining film that is fun to watch all the way through. This is one of the great fulms of all time that features some of the greatest actors to ever grace the screen.
The Philadelphia Story These actors are the best and the movie is a classic that stands the test of time.
