This week your host Elise Hernke breaks down one of her favorite movies, the George Cukor classic "The Philadelphia Story" starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart -- after getting to see it on film at the New Beverly this past week.
After being declared "box office poison," Hepburn scored the rights to this story and used it to revitalize her career. Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar for his performance. This movie is full of rich characters, rich storylines and even richer history.
