比较地道的影评（楼上的更像简介）There are certain films I like to renew my acquaintance with every few years, and one of these is "The Philadelphia Story" (1940). This is a witty, sophisticated movie that, in addition to dazzling star power, features elegant direction by George Cukor and a brilliant, non-formulaic screenplay.The film is set among the privileged upper class in Philadelphia, and I would characterize it as a comedy of manners. The protagonist is a high-spirited, spoiled, somewhat arrogant socialite named Tracy Lord (Hepburn), and I am hard-pressed to think of a better matchup between an actress"s persona and the character she portrays. Tracy is attractive in many ways, but she"s too judgmental and intolerant of the weaknesses of others. As one character tells her, "You"ll never be a first-class human being or a first-class woman until you"ve learned to have some regard for human frailty."The lively, fast-paced plot in "The Philadelphia Story" revolves around love and marriage. Tracy has three suitors: journalist Mike Connor (James Stewart), ex-husband C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant), and current fiancé George Kittredge (John Howard). Only hours before Tracy and George"s wedding, romantic sparks fly between her and Mike. She disappears with the journalist and resurfaces later, clad in a robe and being carried by Mike, who is singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."In short, the movie is filled with entertaining repartee, and the three big stars are in top form.
