Posted by Movie Reviews

The Philadelphia StoryWith a cast of actors including Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Dorothy Arzner and Lauren Bacall, it’s no wonder that The Philadelphia Story became such a true classic movie. This special two disc DVD collection brings you the entire, re-mastered 1940 movie in a quality that is simply amazing.

The Philadelphia Story is one of the top 100 movies of all time as voted by the American Film Institute (AFI). It is a screen adaptation of a Broadway play of the same name. It is a romantic comedy that stars Katharine Hepburn as a spoiled socialite named Tracy Lord. She is going to marry an executive, known for being stuffy, when her ex husband, played by Cary Grant, arrives and is trying to protect her father from being involved in a scandal which is about to hit the headlines.

James Stewart, who won an Oscar for his role in this movie, is playing a reporter who falls in love with Tracy and this affects her as her wedding day is getting ever closer. But the fact that she finds fault with everyone else and thinks she is far better than everyone around her, leads the film to take her in a direction where she gets what she deserves.

Any film that makes it into the top 100 AFI list needs to be admired. This movie is no exception to that. It has a superb cast of actors and the comedy just flows from every direction. It is a movie that you will want to see over and over again, so it is one that you really must add to your collection.
