-It tells the story of a socialite whose wedding plans are complicated by the simultaneous arrival of her ex-husband and an attractive journalist. Barry wrote ''[[The Philadelphia Story]]'' specifically for Katharine Hepburn.
 ==Translations and adaptations==
 High Society is a musical version of The Philadelphia Story (1941), which was based on a 1939 play by Philip Barry. He wrote it with Katharine Hepburn in mind, which was great timing for the actress. In 1938, Hepburn was labeled “box office poison” because her last few films had flopped. For more on that, head over to Bringing Up Baby (1938) or Holiday (1938).
