This film really should be considered a Christmas Classic, as well, since it's primarily taking place mostly during the Christmas season, as well as a top notch comedy for its time period. The dialogue is witty, intelligent and exquisite, the acting superb, and the set designs and scenery, top drawer! Just love it. Bought my own on DVD, and every time I do a reviewing, and it never fails to entertain and delight when I return to it! Just love it!
Ann Sheridan was,. without a doubt, one of the most underrated and underappreciated actresses of all time. She brought and honestly and likability to everything she did
Monte Wooley owned that character on stage & in film.. Great ensemble cast including Bette Davis who pushed Warner Bros to buy the film rights. Always a gem to watch every holiday season!!
I heard they had a stocking shortage during world war 2 but I never knew about the bra shortage that Ann Sheridan had to endure filming this scene...they do look lovely though...
*** "The Man Who Came to Dinner" does not deny its origins. Based on a comedy playwrights George S. Kaufman of and Moss Hart, the film is almost a filmed theater. Most of the scenes takes place on the premises of the residence of the Stanley family, where the man who came to dinner (Monty Woolley) bedevils the secretariat of life (Bette Davis) and residents. The early stages of the plot are very interesting, because of the personality of the renowned Sheridan Whiteside (Monty Woolley), whose arrogance is not combines with its image of beloved celebrity and admired by all. The character would have been based on Alexander Woollcott, an American critic. The rudeness that Whiteside shoots in all directions collide and cause laughter in the audience, but become tiresome over the 112 minutes of plot. In my view, the theatrical environment and excess dialogues end up compromising the pace of the film. Bette wanted to make a minor role imagining star opposite John Barrymore, but the great actor going through a period of decadence due to alcoholism and not considered appropriate to take a complex character who appears in almost all sequences of production.
I can't stand this movie or the play. I saw it for the first time about 20 years ago, after hearing about it my whole life, and sitting through Monty Woolley's performance was a chore. I loved Bette Davis and Ann Sheridan. It is my favorite Ann Sheridan performance, but I could never sit through the whole thing again. Barrymore, had he been healthy enough to do it, would've been interesting.
I know! Every time I watch this I love watching her waltzing around in that amazing top. And that crazy hat, the cigarette, the whole deal. That getup in general is just priceless.
Whose idea was that costume on Sheridan? Peerless comedy. with Bette Davis and Jimmy Durante in same cast, but Bette agreed to do it with John Barrymore and couldn't back out when Monte Wooley replaced him.

I LOVE this movie!!!! I felt Lorraine's confusion, panic, rage, and then need for revenge. Great scene!!
How did everyone on the set or editing room not notice Anne Sheridan's wardrobe malfunction? I spotted it immediately.
Braless
I have watched many performances of this movie & I love them all. One of my many favorites! I can't get enough.
It's very difficult to outstage Bette Davis in any scene but Ann Sheridan does just that here.

Love this movie Monte Cooley should have done more movies. & Jimmy durante " Come to my room in 15 minutes & bring some rye bread! "
"I can feel the hot blood pumpin' through your varicose veins!"
Wow her headlights are on surprised that made it through the censors back in those days?😂
MY FAVORITE MOVIE EVER!
I THINK IT WAS MADE FOR THE DEPRESSION AT THAT TIME AND IT STILL IS JUST AS FUNNY TODAY. I LOVE IT!
I thought I was in an alternate universe: Ann Sheridan chewing the scenery and Bette Davis completely subdued!
Watching this on tv and wondered why they blurred out her chest. Now I know. Wow.
They seriously blurred her chest on TV? Sheesh
Just discovered this wonderfully witty film. Brilliant actors and dialogue. What has happened to modern day movies?
Ann Sheridan's flamboyance and outrage in this outfit is the hottest, sexiest thing ever to grace the silver screen.
And those hands on her sweater second the motion!
While on the phone, she 'appears' visually excited or possibly, titillated!
Can't get this film on DVD I wish it was on TH-cam.
Ann Sheridan! Such an absolute honey!
Dear God let me meet this woman in heaven. I mean, I just wanna...alright, enough of that.
What a babe!
I heard they had a stocking shortage during world war 2 but I never knew about the bra shortage that Ann Sheridan had to endure filming this scene...they do look lovely though...
Operatooooor?
Why doesn’t someone put the full movie on YOU TUBE ? I can’t find it anywhere .
Anyone know if bette davis Ann Sheridan got along?
Oh my! Anne Sheridan is practically naked. How did her wardrobe get past the censors?
AND her buttons are grabbing hands...yeah, i don't know. 🙂
I had to watch it again without the subtitles blocking the view.
😂@@rogerpropes7129
cream of mush
1:20 - the whole time she's on the phone. How'd they get those past the censor?

Ann wasn’t wearing a bra with that blouse.
Love this bra-less performance by Miss Sheridan. Wonderful, beautiful and outrageously hot.

The filmed theater version with Nathan Lane is even funnier than this - plus it has the energy of a live audience. See it if you can!
I prefer that version as well 😄
But it doesn't have Ann Sheridan...so, pass.
