The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942 William Keighley)

Music by Frederick Hollander.

I have to say though in my defence that both Casablanca and My Man Godfrey are perfectly acceptable Christmas films.

I love Bette in this. Monty Wooley had played the character on Broadway. He's based on theatre critic Alexander Woolcott. Mary Wickes was the only other actor to have been in both.

It's a great example of how to film a play interestingly. Tony Gaudio's on camera.
