The Philadelphia Story

Starring the iconic trio of the Golden Age of Hollywood — Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart — The Philadelphia Story follows Tracy Lord, a socialite about to remarry following a high-profile divorce. Preparations for the wedding are infiltrated by two tabloid journalists, while the arrival of her ex-husband further complicates matters. Facing romantic tensions, challenges to her ego and feelings of vulnerability, Tracy begins to question her own demands, prejudices and definitions of perfection. A film that goes beyond mere romantic comedy by weaving in commentary on privilege, morality and the role of women in society, something rare in Hollywood at the time.
