Re-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 expose. 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

 Delightfully done. April 28, 2009
Graham Mccoll
Always wondered where High Society,the Movie, came from. All is revealed.
Think Grant & Hepburn were sensational. Having seen High Society first, have to say Sinatra & Holm were a better team than Stewart & what's her name; and Sinatra did a much better job on Grace Kelly than Stewart did on Hepburn! This Movie was good value tho'.
A must for Cary Grant fans March 28, 2009

Jamie L. Wolfer (Langhorne, PA)
I really like Katherine Hepburn, but her role in this movie was phenomenal...if only it had been in color then I think it would have really sparkled. I have watched this movie numerous times and I'm always finding a new joke or snarky/funny remark. Enjoy!
Great Fun November 23, 2008
