The Philadelphia Story was a classic. The witty script, the charming scenery, the marvelous performances, and Katharine Hepburn’s charming presence made it feel like something I’d never seen before a one in a million until the wedding scene.
Tracy, a young, intelligent, and charismatic woman with a charming personality, is heavily criticized by her ex-husband and father for their own flaws. Cary Grant spends the whole movie telling Hepburn that she’s a cold-hearted woman with no regard for human fragility and blames her for his drinking problems. Her storyline with her father, in which he blames his own daughter for his infidelity, further reinforces this pattern. All of the men in Tracy’s life project their own issues onto her and are unable to love her for who she is.
Mike, played by James Stewart, on the other hand, is the only person who really attempts to see beneath her hard exterior, the only one who truly loves her for who she is..whom she ends up rejecting.
Everything in the movie was beautiful, from the romantic tension to the entertaining humor, but I was baffled by the wedding scene, where her remarriage to her abusive ex-husband is presented as some sort of happy ending. The ending seems to validate the men in Tracy’s life, with her apologizing to her ex-husband and earning her father’s love when she remarries him.
As realistic as this outcome may have been for many women of high society, it remains a sad and troubling one. Beneath its charm and wit lies a story in which a remarkable woman is taught to soften herself for others, while the people who hurt her are rarely held to the same standard.
A marvelous movie,but skip the wedding scene for your own good.
