Philadelphia socialites Tracy Lord and C.K. Dexter Haven married impulsively, with their marriage and subsequent divorce being equally passionate. They broke up when Dexter's drinking became excessive, it a mechanism to cope with Tracy's unforgiving manner to the imperfect, imperfections which Dexter admits he readily has. Two years after their break-up, Tracy is about to remarry, the ceremony to take place at the Lord mansion. Tracy's bridegroom is nouveau riche businessman and aspiring politician George Kittredge, who is otherwise a rather ordinary man and who idolizes Tracy. The day before the wedding, three unexpected guests show up at the Lord mansion: Macaulay Connor (Mike to his friends), Elizabeth Imbrie - the two who are friends of Tracy's absent brother, Junius- and Dexter himself. Dexter, an employee of the tabloid Spy magazine, made a deal with its publisher and editor Sidney Kidd to get a story on Tracy's wedding - the wedding of the year - in return for Kidd not publishing a salacious story with accompanying photographs of Tracy's father, Seth Lord, with a New York showgirl named Tina Marra. In reality, Mike and Liz are the reporter and photographer respectively for Spy. Mike and Liz don't particularly like this assignment or working for Kidd, but they need to make a living as their chosen other fields as serious writer and painter don't pay the bills. A suspicious Tracy is onto them, the entire truth which Dexter admits to her. Tracy decides to turn the tables on Mike and Liz. However, hours before the wedding, as the more self-assured Dexter and Liz get to work on how to get the Lords out from under Spy's threats, Tracy and Mike, both inebriated, go on a journey of self-discovery with Tracy ultimately coming to her realizations a little faster than Mike.
Leave your thoughts about The Philadelphia Story.
| Creative LoafingMatt Brunson[Relies] less on physical comedy and more on immaculately delivered zingers. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherProvided you have a little patience for the lavishly rich, which these folks are, you should have great fun at The Philadelphia Story. For Metro and Director George Cukor have graciously made it apparent, in the words of a character, that one of the "prettiest sights in this pretty world is the privileged classes enjoying their privileges." And so, in this instance, you will too. |
| The Arts DeskDemetrios MatheouAn effervescent social satire that pokes fun at all sides in the class war. It's wickedly witty, gloriously romantic, whip-smart and complex, even verging on the unsavoury at times -- all in all, something of a complete entertainment. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThis is close to perfection with Katharine Hepburn repeating her stage triumph as spoilt socialite Tracy Lord. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawUtterly beguiling, funny and romantic ... |
| Radio TimesAndrew CollinsJust sit back and enjoy romantic comedy at its most sublime. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitHow well all is pulled together and comes off, is more glaring when 'The Philadelphia Story' is compared to its fluffy but fangless 1956 musical adaptation, 'High Society.' |
| VarietyHerb GoldenA picture every suburban mamma and poppa must see–after Junior and little Elsie Dinsmore are tucked away. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullEveryone and everything about the film is mostly perfect, and what the movie ultimately says about the nature of love is still prescient. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe Philadelphia Story is a classic movie featuring three of the silver screen's greatest and most enduring stars. |
