* CareerResurrection: After winning an Oscar for 1933's ''Film/MorningGlory'', Creator/KatharineHepburn seemed to be on the right track; her track record proved to be subsequently shoddy, aside from another Oscar nomination for ''Alice Adams'' (1935). By the late 1930s, Hepburn was labeled "box office poison", and subsequently bought out her studio contract. She turned to Broadway and starred in a successful play called ''The Philadelphia Story'', and bought the film rights to the play so she could star in the film. A great risk that paid off, as the film resurrected Hepburn's career overnight, and a Hollywood legend is born.#

* WriteWhoYouKnow: Playwright Philip Barry based the character of Tracy on Helen Hope Montgomery Scott, a Main Line Philadelphia socialite famous for throwing lavish parties at her family's 800-acre estate in Radnor, PA. The studio reportedly intended to shoot the film at Ardrossan (the name of the family's estate), but decided against it after seeing the size and scale of the main house and the expansiveness of the estate. The producers reportedly thought that no one would believe that anyone could actually live like that, particularly in America in the 1940s.
