AWPL Classic Monday - You Can’t Take it with You (1938): Frank Capra’s madcap, idealistic comedy - based on Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play of the same name – stars Jean Arthur, Jimmy Stewart, Lionel Barrymore, Edward Arnold and Ann Miller. Grandpa Vanderhof (Barrymore) and his eccentric family, the Sycamores, have been happily living their zany lives; all that changes when daughter Alice (Arthur) becomes engaged to the straight-laced Tony Kirby (Stewart), and the two families must meet – an inevitable clash of classes and lifestyles ensues. Capra’s charming film reinforces the importance of living life to the fullest. Not Rated: 2 hours, 6 minutes.
