What You Can't Take It with You is
Alice, the Sycamore family’s least unhinged member, fancies Tony Kirby, whose parents run a bank and fear poverty like a vampire fears sunlight. The Kirbys’ awkward dinner with the Sycamores spirals into a symphony of shrieks, fireworks, and existential dread. A happy ending somehow emerges, though no one is entirely sure how.
