About this product

Product Information

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY boasts an incredible cast, but it's Katharine Hepburn's picture in more ways than one. Tracy Lord (Hepburn), a Philadelphia heiress, is about to marry coal-company executive George Kittridge (John Howard). The wedding, promising to be the season's premier event, attracts the attention of magazine publisher Sidney Kidd (Henry Daniell), who sees it as an opportunity to break a story. Spy magazine's Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), Lord's ex-husband, is enlisted to "gain access" to the party, along with top scandal writer Macauley Connor (James Stewart, in an Oscar-winning role). However, the reporter is quickly smitten by the bride's charms--and he's not the only one. The film, based on the play by Phillip Barry, was first a Broadway sensation starring Hepburn, who acquired the screen rights, claimed the starring role, and chose the director, screenwriter, and lead cast. In addition to fine work by Grant and Stewart, notable supporting performances are delivered by Ruth Hussey and Virginia Weidler. One of nine films Hepburn made with director George Cukor, it remains one of the classics of their collaboration and of American cinema.

The Philadelphia Story DVD ( 2 Disc Special Edition )
This movie stars Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, and James Stewart. Katherine Hepburn plays a socialite who is engaged to James Stewart. When Cary Grant shows up on her wedding day, this leads to comedic situations. It's a cute movie, I like it. Disc One is the movie and Disc Two is the special features, such as interviews and a cartoon. Thank you.

A Classic Worth Having
This is a must have movie if you’re a classic film fan. Even if you’re not this is one to have. It’s hilarious and two of my favorite actors Carey Grant and James Stewart give great performances. Especially James Stewart’s “intoxicating “ scene when he confronts Carey Grant.
