This was one of the other star cast in the Philadelphia Story, who gave a stellar performance...... he is not the handsome hero.... but the cute blundering idiot, who charms you with his eyes and innocent looks...... he has a wonderful voice and diction......and he was another one of Hitchcock favorites.... he worked with several popular directors like John Ford and John Capra.... he won the oscar for Frank Capra's Mr.Smith goes to Washington....he served the military and was the original American Matinee Idol.....
His Shop around the Corner was the inspiration for You've got Mail and few other Indian movies....he acted all kinds of roles.... lawyer, baseball player, soldier, war hero, reporter, floor walker, cowboy.... you name it...he played it....
