John Landis on THE PHILADELPHIA STORY

John Landis tells the tale of THE PHILADELPHIA STORY

Another great Cary Grant performance was overshadowed somewhat by the Oscar win of co-star James Stewart, which was widely viewed as a consolation prize for his losing the award for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Grant and Katharine Hepburn had previously teamed in author Philip Barry and director George Cukor's earlier Holiday, a sort of dry run for this immensely amusing comedy of manners.

@avastyer: Definitely heresy. :p

Heresy, I know, but I prefer High Society. Apart from Hepburn, the acting in The Philadelphia Story is pretty wooden. Plus, the musical has some classic songs. And Louis Armstrong.
