The Philadelphia Story (Two-Disc Special Edition) description
Re-creating the role she originated in Philip Barry's wickedly witty Broadway play, Katharine Hepburn stars as the spoiled and snobby socialite Tracy Lord in this sparkling 1940 screen adaptation of The Philadelphia Story, one of the great romantic comedies from the golden age of MGM studios. Applying her impossibly high ideals to everyone but herself, Tracy is about to marry a stuffy executive when her congenial ex-husband (Cary Grant), arrives to protect his former father-in-law from a potentially scandalous tabloid exposé. In an Oscar-winning role, James Stewart is the scandal reporter who falls for Tracy as her wedding day arrives, throwing her into a dizzying state of premarital jitters. Who will join Tracy at the altar? Snappy dialogue flows like sparkling wine under the sophisticated direction of George Cukor in this film that turned the tide of Hepburn's career from "box-office poison" to glamorous Hollywood star. --Jeff Shannon

Good Movie But Not Great!

This movie is entertaining and is miles better than say "His Girl Friday" but it's not all that great. I found that it was a tad too long and I had to catch myself from yawning at times although I thought the screenplay was very good as well as the acting. The jokes don't age very well and so I chose to focus on the side of the story about Tracy's eventual acceptance that her perfectionist ways are what's turning people away from her and how her character changes throughout the movie to climax in her final choice of husband. I thought Hepburn's acting was the best and most convincing of all while the chemistry among she, Stewart and Grant was very good. Overall a nice feelgood movie with an interesting storyline but certainly not a good comedy with today's audience.

This DVD though is a bit of a disappointment as the sound quality is Digital Mono although with a Dolby Pro Logic system you can simulate surround sound to a certain extent and the picture quality isn't very good. Perhaps it would be a good idea to wait for a properly restored version perhaps Blu-Ray to surface and to give this version a miss.
