FANDOM NAME: Philadelphia Story
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a romantic comedy starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart, which right there should be enough. Also, it's INCREDIBLY poly-friendly.

Tracy Lorde (Katharine Hepburn) is a Philadelphia socialite. She used to be married to C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) but they divorced two years ago.

Now she is about to marry the nouveau riche (and rather obnoxious) George Kittredge.

Macaulay "Mike" Connor (Jimmy Stewart) and Liz Imbrie (Ruth Hussey) are a reporter and photographer who work for a tabloid paper. They're assigned by their editor to infiltrate the wedding for an exclusive story. Their "in" is C.K. Dexter Haven, who introduces them as friends of Tracy's brother. Tracy doesn't buy it at all but for ~reasons~ she goes along with it anyway.

And then there are SHENANIGANS, and a LOT of flirting between Hepburn, Grant and Stewart, (and between Stewart and Imbrie), and Tracy's completely delightful little sister Dinah (who I sadly couldn't nom because I ran out of character slots) and class issues, and a drunken midnight swim. It's a love triangle (I'd say it's a love quadrangle, except the guy she's actually supposed to be marrying never stands a chance), but Grant and Stewart's characters genuinely like and are nice to each other throughout, so really it's my all-time OT3 of OT3s.


WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Available to buy in all online retailers, and Amazon and iTunes both have it to rent as well.

This is my all time favorite movie. So many delightful scenes. I'm glad to see it nominated!
