Dinner at Eight

Put Dinner at Eight down as an exceptionally fine directorial job and place Cukor higher on your list of directors as a result of it.

Audiences of the era may have been fascinated to see the inner workings of the upper crust, but these are painfully dull, generic ordeals.

In it are Marie Dressier, Lionel and John Barrymore, Wallace Beery, Lee Tracy, Edmund Lowe, Madge Evans. Karen Morley, Billie Burke, Phillips Holmes and Jean Harlow. You take all the others and leave us Jean Harlow.

Features a stellar cast of all-star MGM veterans who all know how to overact.
