I like GK as Tracy just a bit more than K.Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story ('40), and I love that BC & FS have a duet, but having C.Grant and J.Stewart were better for the story than BC & FS.
The prior pairing of BC & GC was The Country Girl ('54).
Both this film and its antecedent were MGM productions; was the unidentifiable wedding gift the same object in both films?
The song True Love is one of those that seems to have always existed, beyond a standard/classic.
