The Philadelphia Story
Love is a rollercoaster for socialite Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn), who has three men tangled in her web.
Director: George Cukor
Overview
Katharine Hepburn stars as a wealthy socialite who finds herself the object of affection of three men: her ex (Cary Grant); her intended (John Howard); and a reporter covering her wedding (James Stewart). It’s a beautifully choreographed comic treat, but it’s worth noting that while Stewart won a Best Actor Oscar® for his role, Grant, in a huge oversight, wasn’t even nominated.
