With this furiously witty comedy of manners, Katharine Hepburn revitalized her career and cemented her status as the era's most iconic leading lady thanks in great part to her own shrewd orchestrations. While starring in the Philip Barry stage play 'The PhiIadelphia 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 socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most luminous) against various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her famiIy 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 weIl as a tale of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of goIden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of all time.
