"The Philadelphia Story" (1940) is a classic story, a screwball comedy about an original love triangle set to the high society of Philadelphia. Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn), is about to tie the knot to George Kittredge (John Howard), a new addition to the upper class. But can this wedding survive the prodding photographer, Elizabeth "Liz" Imbrie (Ruth Hussey) and writer, Macaulay "Mike" Connor (James Stewart) of the dreaded gossip magazine? And what does the first Mr. Tracy Lord, C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) think of the wedding? See how the sparks fly and the wittiness never stops in this delightful adaptation of Philip Barry's Broadway play.
