You Can't Take
It With You
by Moss Hart and George S.
Kaufman
Synopsis:
At first the Sycamores seem mad, but it
is not long before we realize that if they are mad, the rest of the world is
madder. In contrast to these delightful people are the unhappy Kirby's. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the in love with Alice
Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home on the wrong
evening. The shock sustained by the Kirby's, who are invited to eat cheap food,
shows Alice that marriage with Tony is out of the question. The though
sympathetic to Alice, find it hard to realize her point of view. Meantime, Tony,
who knows the Sycamores are right and his own people wrong, will not give her
up, and in the end Mr. Kirby is converted to the happy madness of the
Sycamore's, particularly since he happens in during a visit by an ex-Grand
Duchess, earning her living as a waitress. No mention has as yet been made
of the strange activities of certain members of the household engaging in the
manufacture of fireworks; nor of the printing press set up in the parlor; nor of
Rheba the maid and her friend Donald; nor of Grandpa's interview with the tax
collector when he tells him he doesn't believe in the income tax.
