Review of The Philadelphia Story (1940) by Carlo B — 24 Jul 2012
One of the most engaging, wonderful, and laughable comedies with a twist from the Golden Era of Hollywood. All the gags are right on spot, the direction is flawless, and the acting by Cary Grant, James Stewart and Katherine Hepburn is simply marvelous, making this movie the trio's most accomplished feature.
An instant classic that raised the bar enormously high for all the following comedies. The screwball script is utterly witty, and shows a tale of love, jealousy and funny deception in the socially-superior community, consisting of arrogant and selfish snobs (up untill Jimmy Stewart shows up on screen, of course).
