Movie Reviews of The Man Who Came to Dinner
Movie Review: Sardonic Hummer At Its Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I was one of the very few lucky people, who was able to first see this, when it aired on TV in 2000. You have no idea how thrilled I was when I saw it on DVD at a BORDERS a while a go.Nathan Lane is the cynical tyrant radio host Sheridan Whiteside. Who has some of the most crudest and hysterical one liners I have ever herd in the world.
It's very obvious in the begging that he care for no one but him self. He badgers his hostesses family ` the Stanilys'. To the point were he doesn't allow them in their own kitchen and living room. Let a lone their own library.
Even his well beloved secretary Magi Cutler gets her own problems with him. When she falls in love, with a relatively young, and handsome news paper reporter named Bert Jefferson.
The main cast is also sounded with a wonderfully colorful supporting cast as well. Whiteside and Magi's well meaning friend actor and singer Beverly Carrolton comes for a short Christmas visit.
Though he is some what conceded. Beverly is charming with his own wit, with a relatively small scene for him self.
The true entertainment though is that of Whiteside's friend is Banjo. A rather comical maniac who also comes to see his friend. While he is "in a lot of pain". Whitesied foolishly invites Lorraine Sheldon a highly regard actress in the story. Who Whitesied tries to use with manipulation, so that he can keep Magi to himself.
However, like with a lot of things his plain backfires.
Truly a marvelous cast even though some what small. It is humor and straight through all around fun.
