In this rom-com classic, the impending wedding of Main Line socialite Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) is disrupted by the arrival of two admirers—her rakish ex-husband (Cary Grant) and a reporter covering the ceremony (James Stewart).

After the screening, critic Esther Zuckerman will join us to discuss her book Falling in Love at the Movies: Rom-Coms from the Screwball Era to Today, for sale on-site from Main Point Books.

The feature will be preceded by a special preshow, featuring era-appropriate cartoons, newsreels, and more. Newsreel images courtesy of the UCLA Film & Television Archive in collaboration with The Packard Humanities Institute. Visit newsreels.net for more information.
