35mm Presentation!

Formidable Philadelphia socialite Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) butts heads against various romantic foils, chief among them her charismatic ex-husband (Cary Grant), who disrupts her imminent marriage by paying her family estate a visit, accompanied by a tabloid reporter on assignment to cover the wedding of the year (James Stewart, in his only Academy Award–winning performance). Katharine Hepburn revitalized her career and cemented her status as the era’s most iconic leading lady in this furiously witty comedy of manners with some of the era's biggest stars.
