Event Details

Join us for a screening of the screwball comedy romantic classic The Philadelphia Story, starring Cary Grant, Kathleen Hepburn, and James Stewart. 

This 1940 comedy focuses on Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn), a Philadelphia socialite who has split from her husband, C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), due both to his drinking and to her overly demanding nature. As Tracy prepares to wed the wealthy George Kittredge (John Howard), she crosses paths with both Dexter and prying reporter Macaulay Connor (James Stewart). Unclear about her feelings for all three men, Tracy must decide whom she truly loves.

Runtime 110 minutes. Directed by George Cukor.
