The Philadelphia Story
_01.jpg)
The Philadelphia Story is about a socialite named Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn) who used to be married to a man named Dexter (Cary Grant) but is now planning to marry someone else. However, Dexter shows up the day before the wedding with a couple of reporters (including Jimmy Stewart) and mayhem ensues. While this film is, on one hand, a silly romantic comedy, it is also a charming and heartfelt story about perfection... or the lack thereof within relationships. Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart make a perfect odd trio. I absolutely loved this film and would highly recommend it. I'm about halfway through my list of classics to watch and now that it's Fall I should have more time to curl up on the couch and watch them more consistently. There's nothing better than putting on your pajamas, making a cup of tea (or pouring yourself a glass of wine) and watching an old film!
