Synopsis
Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebrated America during the Prohibition Twenties, them made everyone forget the Depression in the Thirties via gales of sophisticated laughter.
The dymanic 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.
These three masterpieces have been collected here to stand as permanent and hilarious testament to the cream of an epoch. And whipped cream at that.
