The Philadelphia Story (1940) starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, James Stewart. Socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn) is preparing to marry, two years after divorcing her first husband Dexter Haven (Grant). Helped by Haven, tabloid reporter Macaulay Connor (Stewart) has gained entrance to her house the day before the wedding. Madcap antics ensue -- mostly involving the consumption of copious quantities of alcohol. Still, it's fun to watch the three superstars of their time on screen together. Stewart won a Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance. The subtitles are slightly better than adequate. Grade: B
