IMDB
Katherine Hepburn stars as a divorced Philadelphia socialite who is set to marry nouveau riche "man of the people" George Kittredge. Cary Grant plays her ex-husband who returns just in time for the wedding. Grant and Spy magazine publisher Sidney Kidd come up with the idea to bring in James Stewart, a tabloid reporter, to report on the wedding. Hepburn is left trying to choose between her ex-husband, fiancee and the reporter.
This movie is very funny and, I guess, cute. As far as romantic comedies go, there aren't many that are as good as this one. Three great actors turning in great performances and plenty of laughs makes this a movie I would highly recommend seeing.
9.5/10
