Review of The Philadelphia Story (1940) by Kristen B — 27 Jun 2009
Simply wonderful! How can one choose between Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart? (It's a good thing Katherine Hepburn had outstanding writers to make the choice for her.).
One of my favorite lines is from "Mike" describing Tracy: A magnificence that comes out of your eyes, in your voice, in the way you stand there, in the way you walk. You're lit from within, Tracy. You've got fires banked down in you, hearth-fires and holocausts.
Men just don't seem to have that sort of poetry in them anymore. (Or Hollywood's writers just don't have what it takes to write a decent movie anymore.).
