Dinner at Eight (1934) on Netflix

Millicent Jordan is pre-occupied with the plans she is making for a high-class dinner party. Her husband Oliver is in failing health, and he is also worried because someone is trying to buy up the stock in his shipping business - even his old friend Carlotta wants to sell her stock. Hoping to get help from businessman Dan Packard, he persuades Millicent, against her wishes, to invite Packard and his wife to the dinner. As Oliver's problems get worse, Millicent is increasingly quick-tempered because the plans for the party are not going smoothly. As the time for the dinner approaches, it appears that the hosts and the guests will all have plenty on their minds. —Snow Leopardreference to crabmeatreference to washington d.c.reference to the daughters of the american revolutionreference to the u.s. cabinetreference to montana133 morePlot summaryPlot synopsisTaglinesMORE STARS THAN HAVE EVER BEEN IN ANY PICTURE BEFORE The Biggest Film Sensation in 10 Years!
