Review of The Philadelphia Story (1940) by Tiffany D — 11 Apr 2014

After waiting all these years to finally view it, I have to say, I most certainly wanted to love TPS. It's a cinema classic. It filled to the brim with legendary stars. It was rewarded by Oscar. ..

.but I didn't love it at all. Actually, I only kind of liked it. I can see the groundwork for romantic comedy. There were certainly moments of brilliance (especially in some of Stewart's scenes).

Cary Grant was dreamily swoonworthy (the original Don Draper of smooth). Young Virginia Weidler stole scenes. Yet, it just seemed a little... dare I say, dull. IDK. 3 stars.
