This poignant 1930s comedy features nearly flawless performances by an all-star cast under the deft direction of George Cukor. Based on the successful play by Edna Ferber and George Kaufman, DINNER AT EIGHT is the tale of a socially scheming Park Avenue hostess (Billie Burke) who performs a series of clever manipulations to bring about a dinner party for an aristocratic English couple. In the process, she largely ignores the troubles facing her ailing husband (Lionel Barrymore); unwittingly, her choice of guests creates a web of intrigue, malice, and romance. Jean Harlow is exceptional as the shrewd wife of Billie's business adversary, as is John Barrymore, in a powerful, somewhat autobiographical turn as a fading star who drinks his future away. Silent-film performer Marie Dressler made a comeback in the role of the aging stage actress Carlotta. Minimize

Perfect in Every Regard

Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  

Pros: The cast, the script, the sets, the costumes.

Cons: None that come to mind!

Bottom Line:
Watch this movie at all costs. If nothing else, you will be able to at least see a great survey of America's past icons. And you'll probably be wildly entertained! Read More

Come and Get It! Dinner at Eight

Author's Rating: 4/5 stars  

Pros: Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler, Jean Harlow, Lionel Barrymore, John Barrymore, Sets and Costumes

Cons: A little too evenly divided between the various story segments

Bottom Line:
An old fashioned blockbuster with an all star ensemble cast shows how the other half lives in 1930s Manhattan.
