Warner Bros. Entertainment, Fathom Events, and Turner Classic Movies will bring back to U.S. George Cukor's classic film The Philadelphia Story (1940), starring Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Ruth Hussey, and John Howard. Recently restored in 4K, the film will play in select theaters across the nation on February 18 and 21.
Also included with this announcement is a brand new poster for the upcoming theatrical screenings.
Synopsis: On the eve of Tracy Samantha Lord's (Hepburn) wedding, her blue-blood ex-husband, C.K. Dexter Haven (Grant), returns. C.K. discovered that a national tabloid plans to do an expose on Tracy's philandering father and has agreed to smuggle a reporter (James Stewart) into her wedding if the magazine kills the story on the elder Lord. But C.K. never expects that the woman he still loves will suddenly fall for the undercover reporter. Now, before the evening is over, Tracy will be forced to take an unflinching look at herself and to realize which of these three men she truly loves.
This two-day event includes exclusive insight from TCM host Ben Mankiewicz.
*In the United States, the 4K restoration of The Philadelphia Story is already out on Blu-ray courtesy of the Criterion Collection. You can see our listing and review of this release here.
