The Philadelphia Story
One of the most hilarious and captivating romantic comedies ever to grace the screen, with a splendid cast including Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart as the trio of lovers mixed up in an impending wedding and society concerns. Early screwball humour mixed with romantic fantasy and acerbic wit, this is one of the classics of film history. Later musicalized as 'High Society'.
