Vintage Classic Radio presents the weekly Sunday Night Playhouse, where we play classics from the golden age of radio from the 1930s to the 1960s. Description:  The 1947 radio adaptation of The Philadelphia Story by the Screen Guild Theater was an entertaining and well-crafted production that drew on the original story by Philip Barry. It featured a stellar cast of actors, including Cary Grant, Jean Adair, and Shirley Booth, who brought the characters to life with their skillful performances. The story follows Tracy Lord, a socialite who finds herself at the centre of a romantic drama involving her ex-husband, a tabloid reporter, and a penniless playboy.
