Movie Reviews of Dinner at Eight
Movie Review: A scathing satire of the Depression and Society
Summary: 5 Stars
Dinner at Eight is one of the funniest, sharpest comedies in film history. Based on the Moss Hart-Edna Ferber play, the film deals with a dinner party at which several members of New York society have been invited. The film features an immpeccable cast: feuding castmates Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery, at the height of their comedic powers; Marie Dressler, perfectly cast and delivering the film's classic last line; John Barrymore, pretty much playing himself, brilliantly; and Lionel Barrymore and Billie Burke, impossibly married to each other. Dinner at Eight is unusual in the canon of director George Cukor, considering the film's rather scathing view of the rich, but he's made a delightful film that speeds by with an energy that's rarely been matched in comedy.
