Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Man Who Came to Dinner

A work of comic genius!
One of my favourite play-to-film adaptations and a riot of a play with some eminently quotable lines.

Sheridan Whiteside, celebrity speaker has slipped on ice outside the smalltown home of a family he had deigned to visit (for a fee) and has now taken over their house, rooms, telephone with his requests, guests and gifts.

Querulous, sharp-tongued and used to his own way, 'Sherry' causes friction in the family, stirs up trouble between his secretary and her new beau, and generally attempts to force things to be as he wants them.

Much hilarity ensues. Honestly. It's brilliant. Whiteside is a fantastic creation, the old-fashioned setting no impediment to the language of the play.

Enjoy.

Criticize Based On Books The Man Who Came to Dinner

An uproarious comedy perfect for the Christmas season. Personality Sheridan Whiteside has slipped on the ice when out to dinner and is now stuck in a small town home for the weeks necessary for his recuperation. Chaos, very properly, ensues. A great example of why it's important to read the whole play-- in Act III there's a stage direction "and it might be well to add, at this point, that Mr. Sheridan Whiteside wears a beard".

This 1939 play might be the perfect 20th century comedy. So well structured. Laughs in every page.

Classic big cast comedy. Practically every character has his/her moment. Even though so many of the names are unrecognizable (takes place in the 1930's--and I don't know half of the celebrities) its humor still holds.

Hilariously witty Christmas play written by the same playwright duo who wrote You Cant Take It With You.The black-and-white movie version is even funnier than the written play because the lines have been fine tuned and the cast (including the actor that the Mr. Whiteside character was written for!) is stellar.

This is just another great classic that's a thoroughly enjoyable read! I chuckled so many times, made me happy - but as I was reading it I could see parts of the film rolling along in my head with the words I was reading! Most entertaining.....

A fast-paced witty comedy. In places dated due to sexual banter and gendered comments (also, telegraph!). Otherwise it plays well to a modern era.

This is certainly not my first time through this play, but a project had swung it back into view, and it always a pleasure to spend time with this comedic gem.
