The Man Who Came To Dinner Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: Famed author Sheridan Whiteside possesses a tongue dipped in venom and a brain that can crack The New York Times crossword in four minutes.

On a lecture tour in Ohio, he slips on the ice and is confined to the home of a bourgeois couple.

He proceeds to plunge the household into chaos, ruling the place like a czar and meddling in everyone's love life.

Monty Woolley reprises his Broadway triumph as the imperious Whiteside in this delightful, lightning-paced farce.

A who's who of Hollywood talents portray a who's who of thinly veiled real-life luminaries, ranging from Gertrude Lawrence to Harpo Marx.

And Bette Davis shines in an uncharacteristic role as Whiteside's unflappable secretary.

The Man Who Came to Dinner: It's a feast of wit and sophistication.
