- Summary:
- Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebriated America during the Prohibition Twenties, then made everyone forget the Depression in the Thirties via gales of sophisticated laughter.
- The dynamic playwriting duo had three smash hits together: The Royal Family (1927), Dinner at Eight (1932), and Stage Door (1936).
- All three plays were promptly made by Hollywood into equally famous films -- Dinner at Eight with Jean Harlow; Stage Door with a young Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball; and The Royal Family of Broadway with Fredric March.
- These three masterpieces have been collected here to stand as permanent and hilarious testament to the cream of an epoch. And whipped cream at that.
