Review of The Philadelphia Story (1940) by Ryan K — 14 Jun 2009
This was a pretty interesting watch. One of the pioneers of the "romantic comedy". Many plot devices one sees in rom coms of today are right here in this movie 70 years ago. It actually starts out pretty slow but hits the mark at the end.
Stewart, Grant and Hepburn all have great skill and show it well with their effortless chemistry. I really am a fan of films that are based on plays. I just like how they can keep the viewer interested with sets consisting of houses, offices, and back yards.
Minimalist story telling at its best.
