The Philadelphia Story: A hilarious neurocomedy

After the sound appeared, two types of films flourished for a while. One is a musical, and the other is a "nerve comedy". Neurocomedy is also known as "eccentric comedy" and "crazy comedy". The origin of the word "nerve" (SCREW-BALL) has two meanings in English, one refers to the "nerve ball" in baseball, and the other is American slang and common sayings "weird" and "unpredictable behavioral impulses" ' and 'unreasonable'. Since the latter meaning was not popularized until the middle of the...

Typical American farce

This is a typical American farce. I don't mean to disparage it by saying this, just to state the type of movie it belongs to.
  Tracy played by Katharine Hepburn is of course the central character of the film. In fact, I personally think that only Tracy played by her and Virginia Weidler, the little girl Dinah, are the most outstanding characters in this film. What about Cary Grant? The performance can only be said to be in the middle distance, but not lost. What about James Stewart? In...

Philly Stories - Great character and good humor

"Philadelphia Story", shot in 1949, is a very interesting story. The artistic technique of the film is very unique, and the views of several main characters on the heroine Tracy and the dialogue with her are very interesting. Tracy's ex-husband Hafen said that she is strong and does not allow vulnerability, but does not understand others and does not understand the fragility of human nature; popular novel writer Mike said that Tracy is like a queen, a person of flesh and blood, full of...

The film that saved Katharine Hepburn's film career

Although Katherine Hepburn earned her first Best Actress Oscar nomination and win for "Morning Glory" as early as 1933, by the late 1930s she had become "box-office poison". As the BBC commented, it was this "Philadelphia Story" that saved her film career. The film earned her her third Oscar nomination, and was nominated that year for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor (Jimmy Stewart, win), and Best Supporting Actress.
 
I have seen more than 10 of Katharine...

My first encounter with young Kate

2004/12/11

I finally watched a movie of Kate's youth. I don't know why, when I first saw her old black and white photos on the Internet, I was more interested in her than other black and white stars; and because her name was very similar to another, I initially held her biased. Most of it is the graceful poise of her slightly parted upper lip in the photo, which makes her look different.

In terms of facial features and face shape, Kate is really not the most beautiful; in add

The type that was popular in that era, today it seems that in addition to the interesting dialogue and strong lineup (Cary Grant / Katharine Hepburn / James Stewart), there are not many parts that attract me, but the little loli is very lovable. "Whiskey is the punch in the back, champagne is the mist in front of...

The cast is really strong! James Stewart is so handsome that my nose bleeds! The plot is very old-fashioned and the ending is a little bizarre, but the interesting thing is that it is full of discussions about women's rights and men's rights, and although Tracy is a girl with personality and unruly, in some details, it still reflects the sense of women's rights in the family....

I really liked the part where Stewart and Hepburn danced on the shore. The cast is strong, but the story feels a bit...
