The Philadelphia Story

The wisecracking screen partnership between Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn reached its peak in this adaptation of Philip Barry’s high-society stage comedy.
Arsenic and Old Lace

Cary Grant is panic-stricken when he suspects his seemingly sweet spinster aunts harbours a dark secret, in Frank Capra’s uncharacteristic foray into twisted farce.
White Heat

Noir classic starring James Cagney as a scarily convincing psychotic hoodlum with a mother fixation.
Gone with the Wind

An epic romance set against the backdrop of the American Civil War which broke box-office records and swept the board at the 1939 Academy Awards.
