The Philadelphia Story

A Philadelphia socialite C.K. Dexter Haven as he's being tossed out of his palatial home by his wife, Tracy Lord. Adding insult to injury, Tracy breaks one of C.K.'s precious golf clubs. He gallantly responds by knocking her down on her million-dollar keester. A couple of years after the breakup, Tracy is about to marry George Kittridge, a wealthy stuffed shirt whose principal recommendation is that he's not a Philadelphia mainliner, as C.K. was. Still holding a torch for Tracy, C.K. is galvanized into action when he learns that Sidney Kidd , the publisher of Spy Magazine, plans to publish an exposé concerning Tracy's philandering father). To keep Kidd from spilling the beans, C.K. agrees to smuggle Spy reporter Macauley Connor and photographer Elizabeth Imbrie into the exclusive Lord-Kittridge wedding ceremony. How could C.K. have foreseen that Connor would fall in love with Tracy, thereby nearly lousing up the nuptials? As it turns out, of course, it is C.K. himself who pulls the louse-up, reclaiming Tracy as his bride.
