The Man Who Came to Dinner - Warner Archive Collection

 Famed author Sheridan Whiteside possesses a tongue dipped in venom and a brain that can crack The New York Times crossword puzzle in four minutes. On a lecture tour in Ohio, he slips on the ice and is confined to the home of a bourgeois couple. He proceeds to plunge the household into chaos, ruling the place like a czar and meddling in everyone's love life. Monty Woolley reprises his Broadway triumph as the imperious Whiteside in this delightful, lightning-paced farce. A who's who of Hollywood talents portray a who's who of thinly veiled real-life luminaries, ranging from Gertrude Lawrence to Harpo Marx. And Bette Davis shines in an uncharacteristic role as Whiteside's unflappable secretary. The Man Who Came to Dinner. The original Broadway hit written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, was superbly brought to the big screen by Warner Bros. to delight audiences for decades to come. It's a feast of wit and sophistication, now looking and sounding better than ever for its Blu-ray debut, derived from a 4K scan of the original nitrate camera negative.
