ABOUT THE FILMS THE PHILADELPHIA STORY, 1940, Warner Bros., 112 min, USA, Dir: George Cukor George Cukor’s delightful romantic comedy, adapted from the Broadway play, stars Katherine Hepburn as Philadelphia socialite Tracy Lord, who is just about to get married when her ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a reporter (James Stewart) enter the picture. Stewart and screenwriter Donald Ogden Stewart both earned Oscars for this almost unimprovable screwball gem, later remade as the musical HIGH SOCIETY. Format: DCP THE AWFUL TRUTH, 1937, Sony Repertory, 92 min, USA, Dir: Leo McCarey Leo McCarey won a Best Director Oscar for this side-splitting masterpiece in which Irene Dunne and Cary Grant decide to divorce – but darn it, it just doesn’t seem to take. With Ralph Bellamy (in his defining “other man” role), Alex D’Arcy, (Miss) Cecil Cunningham and Joyce Compton. Format: DCP
