Rating: - Great Fun
A must for every fan of Katherine Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. Funny, sad, touching, wonderful!
Rating: - Actually Philadelphia Suburb Story
The Great Depression, some things never change. The rich are evil and the poor are sainted. Tracy Lord, the unfortunate name of a recent adult film star, she is kind of a glorious snot ; she'll marry a Nuevo-riche piker to get even with her suave but drunken ex-husband, Cary Grant.

A little dated, but clearly courting mores were more distinct and perhaps safer way back then. Wonderful ... Read More
Rating: - Timless acting, devastating wit, and, um... the script still neeeds work
I just watched this again and I simply must advertise my opinion on the whole of it. It's just that it was "almost" there.

Rating: - Katherine Hepburn is great but the screenplay did not stand the test of time
This 1940s film is supposed to be a classic. That's why it interested me. Originally adapted from a play, it stars Katherine Hepburn as a Philadelphia "main line" self-absorbed young woman. Recently divorced from Cary Grant, she is planning a marriage to someone else. But with the help of James Stuart and Ruth Hussy, Cary Grant sets about winning back his lady love.
My recollections of Katherine Hepburn are as an old lady, so it was a delight to see her young and gorgeous self. The role called for a lot of dialogue and a lot of shifting emotions. Despite her artificial makeup, she did ... Read More
