Diane and I talk about the classic 1940 romantic comedy, The Philadelphia Story. Starring Cary Grant, Katherine Hepburn, James Stewart, and Ruth Hussey, this dialogue-packed film stuns my ears, and I love it. We also draft modern day replacements in our fantasy remake. Episode music is the opening title sequence from The Philadelphia Story by Franz Waxman and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, performed by James Stewart.
