The Philadelphia Story

The Philadelphia Story, originally written for Katherine Hepburn, joins socialite Tracy Lord as she prepares to marry for the second time. Plans go awry as the reporter covering her wedding and her first husband turn up for the pre-nuptial party, throwing everyone’s emotions into disarray. Playwright Philip Barry’s comedy of manners takes a wry look at the American ultra-rich: combining wit, satire, and romance with a heroine who entrances and exasperates at the flip of a coin. The Broadway classic became one of the great movies of Hollywood’s golden age and is sure to please the entire family.
