(1940) Katharine Hepburn’s spoiled rich girl Tracy Lord casually enchants Spy reporter James Stewart (Oscar, Best Actor), who’s covering her second marriage, while fiancé John Howard and ex-hubby Cary Grant wait in the wings. 35mm. Approx. 112 min.
Reviews
“One of the essential American comedies.”
– David Thomson
“A DELIGHT FROM START TO FINISH. The wit still sparkles; the ambivalent attitude towards the rich and idle is still resonant; and the moments between Stewart and Hepburn, drunk and flirty on the moonlit terrace, tingle with a real, if rarely explicit, eroticism.”
– Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London)
