Dinner at Eight (29-Aug-1933)
Director: George Cukor Writers: Frances Marion; Herman J. Mankiewicz; Donald Ogden Stewart From a play: Dinner at Eight by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber Musical Score by: Dr. William Axt Keywords: Romantic Comedy, Great Depression The cream of New York society ramp up for Millicent and Oliver Jordan's formal dinner party. Adaptation of the Broadway play which ran for 232 performances. Much like its sister film Grand Hotel (1932), this is an all-star showcase of MGM's talent. Awkwardly filmed in the early days of sound, but still one of the best productions to not receive a single Oscar nomination.
