On the eve of heiress Tracy Lord's second marriage, a steady stream of visitors — including her ex-husband and the paparazzi — create a most unwelcoming guest list. With manners running high — and expectations low — the big question is whether Tracy will make it to the altar at all. In our era of tabloid journalism and growing class-consciousness, Philip Barry's classic romantic comedy is as potent and incisive as ever. The Philadelphia Story is a fascinating peek into the mixed-up lives of the rich and famous who seemingly "have it all."
