Dinner at Eight

“HERE IS THE SCREEN'S CLIMAX OF GLAMOR AND THRILL THAT RAN OVER A YEAR ON BROADWAY! THE STAGE SMASH NOW A SENSATIONAL FILM TRIUMPH!”

Millicent Jordan wants her dinner party to be the talk of New York, and she plans it down to the last guest. Her husband Oliver (Lionel Barrymore) is quietly losing his business, while Dan Packard (Wallace Beery) and his wife Kitty (Jean Harlow) bring their own trouble to the invitation list. George Cukor moves between the households as the guests dress, with Carlotta Vance (Marie Dressler) among them, and the evening settles over Millicent's dining table.
