Directed by George Cukor

A pre-Code social satire that uses a dinner party as a pressure cooker to expose the moral compromises, infidelities, and financial desperation lurking beneath high-society glamor during the Depression.

An ambitious New York socialite plans an extravagant dinner party as her businessman husband, Oliver, contends with financial woes, causing a lot of tension between the couple. Meanwhile, their high-society friends and associates, including the gruff Dan Packard and his sultry spouse, Kitty, contend with their own entanglements, leading to revelations at the much-anticipated dinner.
