剧情简介
In the uproarious 1942 comedy classic *The Man Who Came to Dinner*, Monty Woolley shines as the razor-tongued radio star Sheridan Whiteside, who tumbles on the icy porch of a wealthy Ohio family's home during a nationwide lecture tour. Stuck recovering there over Christmas, this pompous egomaniac takes over the Stanley household, bossing everyone around and inspiring the restless young heirs, Richard and June, to ditch their dad's stuffy expectations and chase their passions—much to old man Ernest's horror. Bette Davis steals scenes as Whiteside's loyal secretary Maggie Cutler, who's smitten with charming local reporter Bert Jefferson (played by Richard Travis). When she discovers his killer script, she's hooked and begs her boss to pitch it to his Broadway buddies, then drops the bombshell: she's quitting to marry Bert. But Whiteside, hating to lose his right-hand woman, pulls every dirty trick to torpedo the romance in this timeless screwball gem directed by William Keigh
