EDITORS COMMENTS

In this photo print, we see the talented actress Ruth Hussey in her iconic role as Liz Imbrie from George Cukor's timeless classic "The Philadelphia Story" (1940). The camera lens captures her with utmost elegance and grace, showcasing both her undeniable beauty and remarkable acting prowess. Hussey's portrayal of Liz Imbrie, a witty photographer assigned to cover a high-profile wedding, is nothing short of exceptional. Her character exudes confidence and intelligence while maintaining an air of mystery that keeps us intrigued throughout the film. This photograph perfectly encapsulates those qualities as she stands tall, emanating a sense of determination. The skilled photographer behind this image has masterfully captured Hussey's essence by focusing on her legs. It is not merely about their physical appearance but rather symbolizes the strength and resilience that lie within her character. Through this subtle choice, the artist highlights how Liz Imbrie defies societal expectations placed upon women during that era. As part of the British Film Institute collection, this print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of "The Philadelphia Story". It reminds us why it remains one of cinema's most beloved romantic comedies even after more than eight decades since its release. Ruth Hussey's performance continues to inspire generations with its charm and sophistication - an everlasting tribute to her talent as well as George Cukor's directorial brilliance.
