While starring in the Philip Barry stage play 'The Philadelphia Story', Hepburn snapped up the screen rights, handpicking her friend George Cukor to direct. The intoxicating screenplay by Donald Ogden Stewart pits the formidable Philadelphia socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, at her most luminous) against various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her family estate a visit, accompanied by a tabloid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (James Stewart, in his only Academy Award winning performance). A fast-talking screwball comedy as well as a tale of regrets and reconciliation, this convergence of golden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of all time.

I have a huge collection of dvds and blu rays, so, of course, having this amazing film on Criterion, was a no brainer, and it was 50% off!!!It is well worth full price, to have this Criterion print! I will watch it every year! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Film *by on Reviewed in the United States July 16, 2021* There is simply nothing comparable today to The Philadephia Story or to its lead trio, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, and Katherine Hepburn. The latter shines in this movie like no other. She never looked more beautiful, and although she gave many great performances in her career, none were better than this one. The Criterion restoration is fabulous. I had this on DVD, and always felt like I was missing half the details. I was. They're all here on this release. The extras are fun and interesting too. AND the booklet is quit nice. It's not very thick, but the text is good, explaining the background of the movie's history.Extra note: If you are a Jimmy Stewart fan, you will likely enjoy this movie, if only because of party scenes in which we see him having a drunkenly good time with Grant and Hepburn. In one scene with Grant, I swear the latter is doing everything he can not to burst out laughing. Stewart is so funny and so sweet.Treat yourself a fun classic movie! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic, must-watch rom-com with fantastic performances *by on Reviewed in the United States August 28, 2025* Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart in a romantic screwball comedy? What more could you ask for?
