Screwball Fall: The Philadelphia Story
Who doesn't need a few extra chuckles now that summer is over? We've compiled some of our favourite classic comedies to make the transition into fall a little less painful and a little more "screwball." "We all go haywire at times, and if we don’t maybe we ought to..." "The Philadelphia Story" is, hands down, one of the funniest and most beloved screwball romantic comedies of all time. The outrageous story begins on the eve of Tracy Samantha Lord's (Katharine Hepburn) wedding, when her blue-blood ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), returns. C.K. discovered that a national tabloid plans to do an expose on Tracy's philandering father and has agreed to smuggle a reporter (James Stewart) into her wedding if the magazine kills the story on the elder Lord. Now, before the evening is over, Tracy will be forced to take a look at herself and to realize which of these three men she truly loves.
