the philadelphia story

you don't get more old school than 1940 with cary grant, katharine hepburn, and james stewart. billed to me as "the greatest romantic comedy of all time," the philadelphia story was thoroughly enjoyable until the end, when seemingly unmotivated declarations of love was rampant. aside from that, the zinging wit of the movie was on full display and despite it taking a few minutes for me to find the rhythm of such precisely delivered lines, the movie was excellent...well, until the end.

the most stunning thing was watching katharine hepburn on-screen, since that totally justified cate blanchett's portrayal of her.
