	The Philadelphia Story (1940)
		The Philadelphia Story (1940) is an intelligent, sophisticated, classic romantic comedy-farce (part screwball) of love and marriage, human growth and class distinctions.
		The Philadelphia socialite has divorced her dashing, colorful, pompous, playboyish husband (Cary Grant) and become involved with a chilly, solitary, self-made and dull business tycoon/millionaire (John Howard).
		The plot thickens and becomes complicated when her irresponsible ex-husband appears on the eve of the wedding, with intentions to keep her shielded from an overly-ambitious, cynical tabloid newshound (James Stewart) - a second male principal who is also vying for Hepburn's love on the day (and night) leading up to the ceremony.

		Some of the patients surrounding him in the movie's earlier emergency room scenes really were AIDS patients, whom Hanks had approached when preparing for the movie, and who had subsequently agreed to participate; and as Hanks emphasized during an appearance in Bravo TV's "Inside the Actors' Studio," not all of them are still alive.
		One of "Philadelphia"'s most quietly powerful scenes is the testimony of a female witness who was infected by just such a transfusion, and who emphasizes that having AIDS is not a matter of sin or morality: "I don't consider myself any different from anyone else with this disease.
		The movie had good believable acting from Hanks and Denzel Washington, but the part the movie fails in is the TELLING of the story.

	Movie Review - Philadelphia - eFilmCritic
		It's a difficult thing sometimes, criticising a film like 'Philadelphia' as it leaves the critic open to accusations of homophobia themselves, but 'Philadelphia' patronises the homosexual community so much, it's like an instruction video for schoolkids "Listen kids - gays are people too, you know?".
		And 'Philadelphia' is guilty of the very cliches it sets out to crucify.
		'Philadelphia' is the type of film that purports to ask intelligent questions, but actually makes the audiences mind up for them instead.

		Philadelphia is a usual courtroom drama, however it has a topic on it's side (2 to be precise) that probably no other film before 1993 had- gay people with the AIDS virus.

		Philadelphia, the other American film in competition, is not the controversial picture its advance publicity has promised, but a cautious, carefully packaged combination of two made-for-TV genres: the deadly-disease picture and the courtroom drama.

		Andrew Becket (Tom Hanks), a gay Philadelphia corporate attorney, has a supportive family, including several married brothers and sisters, complete with children.
