i don't know how or why, but i feel like all the characters' problems would be solved if cary grant, katharine hepburn, and james stewart had a threesome..... just a thought

jovanna likedThe Philadelphia StoryWHY SHE DIDNT CHOOSE MIKE AGHHH he was perfect, handsome, tall and with class consciousness !!! that would it be the best final for me but i loved the movie anyways 9/10
CvptvinHowdy likedThe Philadelphia StoryI'm with "Dinah." I was waiting for someone to get socked too lol. All 3 of the leads were great, as I expected, but something was missing that prevented me from enjoying it a whole lot, or I expected more. Either way, it's a great film, and a rewatch would probably improve.
kenzie a is "meh" onThe Philadelphia Storyi fear this is one u have to be Fully paying attention to due to the screwball comedy coming thru in the mundane dialogue but like overall it was alright i don’t feel strongly either way
- Mickerdoo is "meh" onThe Philadelphia Story
A little too stage-structured for me. Really liked the cast. But it just felt like rigid dialogue and highfalutin.
Lacey Zielinski likedThe Philadelphia StoryI absolutely loved the movie and dialogue so much but the ending kinda soured the movie for me

Our favorite film.

Metacritic
Utterly beguiling, funny and romantic.
Peter Bradshaw
The Guardian
Add Hepburn’s persona, beautifully explored here in all its wonder, and Stewart’s likeability, and George Cukor’s sensible, subtle, and lovingly unrushed direction of a firecracker script…the result is a studio picture far deeper and richer than its whimsical surface style might lead you to believe.
