Taken altogether, Philadelphia Story is cinema entertainment of the blue ribbon, gold medal, knockout-in-one-round class.

The Philadelphia Story revolves around a love triangle involving socialite Tracy Lord (Katherine Hepburn), her ex-husband Dexter (Cary Grant), and journalist Mike (Jimmy Stewart). As Tracy prepares to marry wealthy George (John Howard), Dexter reappears, rekindling unresolved feelings. Meanwhile, Mike becomes smitten with Tracy, creating romantic confusion as she navigates her emotions and ultimately reconsiders her true love. A fast-talking screwball comedy as well as a tale of regret and reconciliation, this convergence of golden-age talent is one of the greatest American films of all time.
