USA 1978 / 109 minutes May 18 The Philadelphia Story (Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and James Stewart) When a woman's ex-husband and a tabloid reporter turn up before her planned remarriage, she begins to learn the truth about herself.
Byline: Richard Duckett Amelia Broome recalled going to see Kate Mulgrew play Katharine Hepburn in the one-woman show "Tea at Five" when it came to Boston a little more than three years ago.
She had now reached the age of sixty, but while contemporaries like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford found themselves reduced to appearing in horror movies in the Grand Guignol tradition, and Barbara Stanwyck was stuck in the grind of weekly TV production on The Big Valley, Katharine Hepburn was keeping busy at significant and meaningful projects, including her starring role in Broadway's Coco.
