I can see your problem with the Philadelphia Story. It really bugged me at first, especially the scene at the end with her father the ass, who was portrayed as right and wonderful. Bah. But there are so many scenes and moments that I adore that I've managed to analyze it in a way that isn't totally mysogonistic. *g* I can't quite remember all of the details now, but it involves all people, not just women, allowing other people to be imperfect and live their lives in the manner that makes them happy even if it doesn't make sense to you. Tolerance and all that jazz. It makes it easier to watch. *g*
I just bought that Cary Grant set you speak of. I need to rewrite The Awful Truth for SGA, and therefore need to WATCH the damn movie, and only was able to give Holiday a cursory watch before it had to leave my TiVo forever, so I was thrilled to find the set. I only had owned His GIrl Friday, and that was a cheapy $5 Canadian product that didn't even have closed captioning, so it worked for me. I think, actually, I can make you a copy of Holiday if you want. In VHS or DVD. I've not actually played with that feature of my new DVD recorder, but it's about time I start, really. *g* Want me to try for you?
