Synopsis
Synopsis
You Can't Take It with You, is a Pulitzer Prize winning comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, made only slightly more famous by
the 1938 motion picture, of the same name, which was Directed by Frank Capra and starred Jean
Arthur, Lionel Barrymore, and a very young actor named James Stewart.
Philosophic, tax evading, seventy-five-year-old Martin Vanderhof is the patriarch of a wacky New York City household. His daughter, Penelope Sycamore, writes plays that she never finishes, while her husband, Paul, manufactures fireworks in the cellar. One of Vanderhof's granddaughters, Essie, practices ballet in the living room while her husband, Ed, plays his xylophone and runs his printing press. Another granddaughter, Alice, invites the parents of her rich fiancé, Tony Kirby, to the house for dinner. The Kirbys arrive a night early, and in the middle of the mayhem, Paul's fireworks explode. The cops arrive, and, declaring Ed's printed material anarchist, everyone is hauled off to jail. And if that is not enough just try and figure out how the other people in the house got there.
There is an equal amount of laughing and crying, as this heartfelt story unfolds of a family that knows only one thing in life is worth having; each other!
