The Philadelphia Story | comment |
A classic, witty romantic Screwball Comedy adapted from Philip Barry's hit Broadway play of the year before, The Philadelphia Story (1940) was directed by George Cukor and stars three of the biggest stars of the era: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart.Upper-class socialite Tracy Lord (Hepburn, reprising her stage role) is getting married to independently wealthy man and aspiring politician George Kittredge (John Howard), but her ex-husband C.K. Dexter Haven (Grant), looking for a little revenge, sneaks in a couple of reporters — a writer (Stewart) and photographer (Ruth Hussey) — to do an exclusive story for Spy magazine. Love Triangle confusion ensues among the stars and supporting characters.A box-office hit, the film was also a great critical success, receiving six Academy Award nominations. James Stewart's performance as Macaulay "Mike" Connor earned him the Best Actor award, for the first and only time in his career. David Ogden Stewart also took home an Oscar for his screenplay.Later remade as the 1956 musical film High Society, starring Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, and Frank Sinatra in the Hepburn, Grant, and Stewart roles. | |

The Philadelphia Story / int_120d0e3f | comment |
Adam Westing: Casting Katharine Hepburn as a Rich Bitch who, in her first scene, gets knocked on her ass by Cary Grant was probably quite amusing to audiences in 1940, a time when the tabloids called Hepburn "Katharine of Arrogance" for her prickly, tomboyish public image. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
The Philadelphia Story / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: Playwright Philip Barry based the character of Tracy on Helen Hope Montgomery Scott, a Main Line Philadelphia socialite famous for throwing lavish parties at her family's 800-acre farm estate in Radnor. The magazine publisher Sidney Kidd is a parody of Henry Luce, publisher of the magazines Time and Life. The film version adds some digs at the backward syntax that Luce's publications were famous for. | |

Green-Eyed Monster | |
The Philadelphia Story / int_1d2400e9 | comment |
Green-Eyed Monster: George, who automatically assumes the worst when he sees Tracy in another man's arms. Hilariously averted with Dexter, who apparently couldn't care less. Liz would "scratch [the] eyes out" of any girl who came between her and Mike, but she manages to be philosophical about his fling with Tracy. It can't hurt that when Tracy turns down Mike's proposal, she gives Liz's feelings for him as one of her reasons. Tracy's parents also point out that her outrage over Seth's philandering sounds a lot like jealousy. Which is odd, considering she's Seth's daughter. | |

Adapted Out: The original play featured a character named Sandy, who is Tracy's brother and the reason for Mike and Liz to come to the wedding. This character was deleted for the movie in order to beef up the character of Mike. There are several references in the film to a brother of Tracy's, but his name is Junius. | |

However, they point out that her very self-righteousness is a moral failing that's just as dangerous. Oh, and then she gets drunk and makes out with another guy. Played straight with Liz. When Dexter asks her why she doesn't marry Mike, she answers, "He's still got a lot to learn. I don't want to get in his way for a while." | |

All Women Are Prudes: Tracy's attitude towards sex isn't just conservative; there's actually some evidence that she herself doesn't much care for it. The issue is never really addressed, despite the problems it apparently caused in her first marriage and could cause in her second. Although her attitude seems quite opposite this trope when she's drunk. | |
