The Philadelphia Story (1940)

As much as this film is claimed - by pretty much everyone - that this is a comedy (and a funny one at that) I found it very hard to crack even a smile through what is, essentially, an extremely tumultuous time in several peoples lives. 

The woman's emotional derobing in front of every person available is nothing short of harrowing and the constant attempts to bed her by every able bodied male is continuously perverse. I found the entire movie to be an extremely uncomfortable experience, not at all an enjoyable film in the sense that everyone wildly claims it to be.
