Directed by Frank Capra (1938)
With
Jean Arthur, James Stewart, Lionel Barrymore
Frank Capra directs this charming romantic comedy about Tony, Jr. (Jimmy Stewart), the heir to a munitions monopoly, who falls for his sugary sweet secretary, Alice Sycamore (Jean Arthur). When Tony’s uptight parents come to meet their future daughter-in-law's family, they get a front-row seat to the mischievous antics of the oddballs shacking up with Alice’s Grandpa Vanderhof. A revelatory blueprint for Pee-wee and his playhouse, the Vanderhof home is a haven for nonconformity, diversity, and fun, where everybody, according to Grandpa, “does just what he wants to do!”
