 MTV.com - Movies - Donald Ogden Stewart
Educated at Yale, Stewart was well-off enough to indulge in his hobby of writing on a professional basis; he wrote several satirical novels that were a hit amongst the "smart set" of the '20s.
Stewart made his talkie bow in a supporting role in the Marion Davies vehicle Not So Dumb (1929); after that, his contributions to the screen were confined to writing.
Stewart's screenwriting career flourished until the end of the '40s, at which time he was fllisted for being a "premature anti-fascist" in the years before World War II.

 Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Opinion / Editorials / A Hemingway story
Stewart -- who would later be banned from working in Hollywood during the McCarthy period -- was superbly qualified to decide that parody was not Hemingway's "dish." Indeed, the first novel Hemingway published, "The Torrents of Spring," was a parody of the older writer Sherwood Anderson, a parody that deserves its obscurity.
Unlike Stewart, the heirs of the Hemingway estate who have denied Stewart's son the right to publish the letter and story in the contemporary Vanity Fair can hardly claim to be making an aesthetic judgment.
So Donald Ogden Stewart, who in 1951 would become a victim of the vicious form of censorship that was the Hollywood fllist, censored Hemingway for good and friendly reasons.

As early as 1925, Stewart had been assigned to adapt one of his own novels for the screen, but the project was shelved and instead he wrote an adaptation of the play Brown of Harvard, which was released in 1926.

Also enter Stewart and Hussey, snoopers from Spy magazine, to cover the society wedding of the year and throw another spanner in the works.
The wit still sparkles; the ambivalent attitude towards the rich and idle is still resonant; and the moments between Stewart and Hepburn, drunk and flirty on the moonlit terrace, tingle with a real, if rarely explicit, eroticism.

THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940) stars Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart, and was directed by George Cukor.
At this stage in her career, Hepburn tended to be regarded as high-risk at the box-office, and the studio compensated by matching her with a supremely strong male cast.
In the hands of director George Cukor, the screenplay is delivered with tremendous verve by the entire cast and the film went on to become a major hit with both critics and the public, as well as winning two Oscars (for the screenplay and for James Stewart).
