DINNER AT EIGHT
August 17, 2013  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

George Cukor directed this 1933 comedy, which I first saw in my college film class – back when I was taking the course, not teaching it. The movie still holds up, in no small part because of its truly all-star cast. This particular cinematic dinner party includes Wallace Beery, Marie Dressler, Jean Harlow, Billie Burke, and two members of the Barrymore acting family dynasty, John and Lionel.
