Synopsis

Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebriated America during the Prohibition Twenties, then made everyone forget the Depression in the Thiries via gales of sophisticated laughter.

The dynamic playwriting duo created three smash hits together: The Royal Family (1927) • Dinner at Eight (1932) • and Stage Door (1936.

All three plays were promptly made by Hollywood into equally famous films – Dinner at Eight with Jean Harlow; Stage Door with a young Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball; and the Royal Family of Broadway with Frederic March.
