This one's got everything: a great script (thank you Edna Ferber), plus wonderful characters and actors to play them, esp. Marie Dressler and the Barrymore brothers, but including nearly everyone: Wallace Beery, Billie Burke and of course Jean Harlow. Even the maids and secretaries are pitch perfect, and as an extra treat the cast includes the underrated Karen Morley from my favorite film Our Daily Bread. I love that it's the floozies who save the day, all because of the dinner. Bravo.
