Paramount, 1940

Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn, and James Stewart are all showcased superbly in this terrific piece from the equally fantastic film. Prior to filming, this now-classic story unfolded on a Broadway stage. Howard Hughes actually purchased the rights and gifted them to Hepburn. Both Hepburn and Stewart were nominated for Oscars for their performances, with Stewart winning. The film was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.
