Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Every time Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart connect in a scene, we hear the happy ding! of quality champagne crystal.
The smarties are going to relish Philadelphia Story a lot more than the two-bit trade...
George Cukor gives it the royal treatment with a splendid supporting cast...
Cukor and Donald Ogden Stewart's evergreen version of Philip Barry's romantic farce, centreing on a socialite wedding threatened by scandal, is a delight from start to finish, with everyone involved working on peak form.
