The Philadelphia Story (Blu-ray) is a sparkling romantic comedy from the golden age of Hollywood, directed by George Cukor and featuring three legendary stars: Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and James Stewart. Originally released in 1940, the film tells the story of Tracy Lord, a spirited socialite whose impending wedding is thrown into disarray by the arrival of her charming ex-husband and a pair of nosy reporters. With its witty dialogue, elegant direction, and magnetic performances, this timeless classic has been beautifully restored by the Criterion Collection for a new generation of film lovers.
