Two great scenes from Philadelphia Story (1940).

Katharine Hepburn is flawless as a wealthy women learning more about herself from her interactions with her ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a reporter (Jimmy Stewart) sent to cover her second wedding.

"..human frai- aren't the geraniums pretty, professor?"
Love it!

  • @hanks864 Her accent is colloquially called the Locust Valley Lockjaw. It used to be the upper-class American accent associated with elite residents of NY metropolitan area. President Roosevelt and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis also spoke with this accent.

  • The whole cast and the snappy dialog were absolutely brilliant in this film. I really need to get my own copy of it soon.

  • And then its the guy in the wheelchair from Rear Window!!

  • It's Devlin from Notorious!! Gotta love college film class...

  • @TheAmbrose1987 "Transatlantic accent" is most likely a misunderstanding that went viral. "Transatlantic" refers to anything occurring across or crossing the Atlantic Ocean, e.g., "Transatlantic Slave Trade." Mid-Atlantic, on the other hand, refers to a region in the United States, specifically in the north east, where this accent was popularized.

  • @LoquaciousApe - Jameela was right, Cary Grant has a transatlantic accent.

  • A true classic!

    What a awesome movie!Katharine was the best female actress ever!

  • Between the story, the screen writing, the directing and the quality of the actors I don't believe there was a better movie ever made.

  • @JameelaTiffanieMejia *Mid-Atlantic
