Synopsis
The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941) is a classic Hollywood comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Sharp-tongued radio critic Sheridan Whiteside shows up for dinner with an Ohio family, slips on the ice outside their door, and breaks his hip. From that moment, he simply refuses to leave.
Stuck in a wheelchair, the unwanted guest turns the household into his personal command center. He bosses the staff around, hosts penguins and ex-convicts, buries his hosts under a blizzard of telegrams, and meddles in everyone's affairs without a shred of shame. When his loyal secretary falls for a local newspaperman, Whiteside schemes shamelessly to keep her from quitting on him.
William Keighley's film adapts the Broadway smash by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart, and its charm is all in the speed: the lines fly faster than you can laugh at them. Monty Woolley reprises his stage role and walks off with the whole picture, while Bette Davis takes a rare, generous step back into a warm supporting turn.
