THE PHILADELPHIA STORY Starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart Back in Theaters February 18th & 21st

“Where’s my wandering parakeet?”

 Love is in the air as Fathom Events and the TCM Big Screen Classics series present one of movie history’s quintessential romantic comedies: 1940’s The Philadelphia Story, in movie theaters nationwide for two days only on Sunday, February 18, and Wednesday, February 21. TCM Primetime Host Ben Mankiewicz will offer newly produced commentary before and after each presentation.

In one of her most famous roles, Katharine Hepburn plays Tracy Lord, the daughter of a well-to-do Pennsylvania family who is about to embark on a second marriage, this time to staid-but-wealthy George Kittredge (John Howard). As the wedding plans get underway, Tracy’s first husband C.K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) shows up at the house, in part to shield Tracy from the prying eyes of an overly ambitious reporter (James Stewart) assigned to cover the nuptials. Produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and directed by George Cukor, The Philadelphia Storyis a sparkling example of Hollywood romance at its finest.
