Movie Reviews of The Philadelphia Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: The course of true love... ...gathers no moss.
Summary: 5 Stars
Perhaps not my favorite classic, but The Philadelphia Story is a great adaptation of the play with some of the greatest actors of their day.
Now I am only twenty so this was out far before my years, but it certainly kept my attention and will sit high in my list of favorite films.
Macaulay Connor(James Stewart) stumbling around with Tracy Lord(Katharine Hepburn) drunk on champagne, and previously meeting with C.K. Dexter Haven(Cary Grant) in my mere opinion is oscar worthy in itself.
" Well, this is where Cinderella gets off, now you hurry back to the ball before you turn into a pumpkin and six white mice, goodbye. "
Not to mention I adore anything where Katharine Hepburn plays a cold, but misunderstood woman of privilege. Oh wait...
It is a film I will truly treasure in my collection.
Summary of The Philadelphia Story (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Sophisticated romantic comedy achieved its pinnacle in this timeless classic voted one of the Top 100 American Films of all time by the American Film Institute. Katharine Hepburn Cary Grant and Best Actor Academy Award winner James Stewart star in the masterful comedy (directed by George Cukor) about a faultfinding bride-to-be socialite who gets her come-uppance. (Writer Donald Ogden Stewart won the film's second Oscar for adapting Philip Barry's play.)Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?012569699021Re-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 expos?. 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
