À propos de ce film

Katharine Hepburn is the snooty daughter of a wealthy Philadelphia family and about to marry for the second time. Things get hilariously complicated when her cunning ex-husband Cary Grant enters the scene with tabloid reporter James Stewart in tow. While Stewart falls helplessly in love with Hepburn, she rejects her stuffed-shirt fiance and realizes she's still in love with Grant. One of the greatest romantic comedies ever produced, it was recently selected as one of the top 100 American films of all time by the prestigious American Film Institute. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and winner for Best Screenplay. Stewart ("It's A Wonderful Life," "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington") took home an Oscar for his earnest portrayal of the smitten reporter, and Oscar-winner Hepburn ("The African Queen," "On Golden Pond") received her third nomination. Ruth Hussey ("Northwest Passage") earned an Oscar-nomination as a cynical tabloid photographer. MPAA Rating: NOTRATED © 1940 A Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved

Notes et avis

This comedy strikes the perfect balance of elegant humor and wit.The characters are multidimensional and perfectly played, providing the audience with a film that transports the watcher to yesteryear. James Stewart plays one of my favorite characters in such a way that he dissolves into it. His drunk scene where he exclaims,"ck dexter haven" is one of my all time favorites. I love this movie for its sophisticated simplicity and the witty humour thoughtout. Worth watching!!

My favorite movie of all time. Fantastic characters, witty dialogue, and entertaining story. I love this movie and watch it over and over.

My#1, all time favorite Carey Grant film. He's funny, adorable, and handsome. Catherine Hepburn is perfection!
