Ready to turn a new page in her life, active Philadelphia socialite and statuesque heiress Tracy Lord divorces her handsome husband, C.K. Dexter Haven. Two short years later, Tracy prepares to marry modest, wealthy George Kittredge, unaware that Dexter is still carrying a torch for her. With the wedding just around the corner, Dexter gets Spy Magazine journalist Macaulay Connor and his photographer Elizabeth Imbrie to gate-crash the exclusive wedding ceremony to avert the inevitable. Before long, Tracy finds herself forced to choose between past loves, present loves, and new loves.—Nick Riganas
