Yar

The Philadelphia Story (1940)

Directed by George Cukor this film based on the play of the same name stars Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart and Ruth Hussey. A socialite is planning to remarry but her wedding plans are complicated by her ex-husband and two reporters.

While this film has a good cast the best part is the script which is witty through out and manages to survive despite having to use a few contrivances to get round the production code of the time. The underlying themes of the film also work well with it's anti-class bias message. About the only disappointment of the film is that the relationship between the two reporters seems under developed as it gets little screen time.

5/5
