  If you ladies haven't seen Jimmy Stewart in "Harvey" you need to watch it immediately.

  A musical re-make was done in 1956 titled "High Society", starring Grace Kelly as Tracy, Bing Crosby as the ex-husband and Frank Sinatra as the reporter.

  For late-era Cary (and a sparkling Audrey Hepburn), 1963's Charade is an all-timer. Comic-thriller, often joked about as being "The Best Hitchcock Movie Alfred Didn't Make." 😅

  Old movies like this prove chemistry matters more than spectacle. The dialogue moves fast, nobody says exactly what they mean, and somehow it feels more honest than most modern romances. People haven’t changed much, only the delivery has.

  The Philadelphia Story was written for Katherine Hepburn as a play to rebuild her career, she had been virtually blacklisted as “difficult”. The film version really cemented her return. It was later adapted into a musical with, Grace Kelly playing Tracy Lord,  as High Society

  Cary Grant was great in everything he did; another movie he did with Kathryn Hepburn called "Bringing up Baby" which is a true screwball comedy/romance.

  “Spit in the eye” is an idiom, a phrase that means showing extreme defiance, disrespect.

  This film is a journey of self-discovery, ending with Tracy realizing which of the three men truly understands her soul rather than just her social standing.

  &quot;Everyone had enormous fun on the movie. The days and nights were sweltering that summer of 1940, but nobody cared. Cary got along very well with Kate Hepburn. She enjoyed him pushing her through a doorway in one scene (so she fell over backward) so much that she had him do it to her over and over again. There was a scene in which she had to throw Cary out the door of a house, bag and baggage, and she did it so vigorously he fell over and was bruised. As he stood up, looking rueful, Kate said, &quot;That&apos;ll serve you right, Cary, for trying to be your own stuntman.&quot; <br>— Cameraman Joseph Ruttenberg, recalling The Philadelphia Story (1940) (Source: Wiki).
