THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)
Starring: Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey, John Howard, Roland Young, John Halliday, Chris Nash
Witty, sparkling and bright adaptation of Philip Barry's hit Broadway play about the rich upper class becoming blinded to the simple joys of life. The story centers around socialite Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn) and husband C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) whom she's thrown out of their Main Line mansion. Tracy is on the verge of marrying a wealthy stuffed shirt, much safer than Dex, whom starts trying to win Tracy's heart again. Meanwhile Mike Connor (James Stewart), a tabloid reporter, also falls for Tracy while covering the nuptials for his magazine. Tracy must choose between the three men as she discovers that "safe" can mean "deadly dull" when it comes to husbands and lifestyles.
