Blabbing about: The Philadelphia Story (1940)

Hello!

I was interested in this film since I
was looking for a nice classic romantic comedy.
(And look at the cast!)

well.. I knew about this film and had a DVD for quite
a long time but didn't feel like watching it.

Anyway, lets get onto the review(ish)
shall we.

Warning:May contain spoilers!

And oh, this is going to be a extremely short post.
I think...




The Philadelphia Story (1940)
Romantic comedy

I have to say first, that I didn't feel like watching
this film for a long time since I found out that
this was the.. what is it called?
The original version? of "High Society(1956)".
So, I knew that..I knew the plot so felt
very.."oh what....".
(Damn... If I only knew...I would of definitely
watched this first!) 

But, Since I thought I HAD to give it a go
for the last time, I finally did watch it all the way.

OK, so the first thing I have to say about this
film is that I thought Katharine Hepburn was GORGEOUS.
She was absolutely beautiful...uh.
(lol, I've actually only seen her in 
"Guess who's coming to dinner(1967)"before.)



And, of course the wonderful Cary Grant and
James Stewart was extremely handsome as always.


OK...about the story-line...
Well... I really can't say I got any surprises
or anything since I pretty much knew it all,
but..yeah,Personally, I can't say I loved the story,
Since I don't really like "two guys taking over one girl"
settings.(well... this is more like three guys, and I
have said this before haven't I? haha.)
I also don't like "girls taking over one guy"settings as well! 
I prefer it when it's just you know, two humans.No more!

Overall, I thought the casting of the 3 main characters
were great and enjoyed watching Katharine, Cary and James
very much, but would personally thought the story was so-so.
(Just not my thing.)

And, one last thing:
I know I'm not supposed to compare,
But yes, I liked Katharine Hepburn as Tracy
waaay more then Grace Kelly, haha.
But...though I love both "Philadelphia Story" and "High Society",
I personally enjoyed watching "High Society" more,
Yes, Because of the music.
(Everything in "High Society" was great, 
except Grace Kelly. Sorry!)



Bye bye!
