Description
Base painting for the vintage movie poster ''Dinner at Eight'', a classic American comedy-drama film released in 1933, directed by George Cukor and based on the play of the same name by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast, including Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery, among others.
Set against the backdrop of high society New York City, "Dinner at Eight" follows a series of intertwining storylines centered around a glamorous dinner party hosted by the socialite Millicent Jordan (played by Billie Burke). As Millicent meticulously plans the guest list and menu for the evening, the lives of her guests become increasingly entangled, revealing secrets, scandals, and betrayals.
Jean Harlow portrays Kitty Packard, a brash and outspoken socialite married to the wealthy businessman Dan Packard (played by Wallace Beery). Their marriage is fraught with tension and infidelity, and as the dinner party approaches, their relationship unravels in dramatic fashion.
Directed by George Cukor, "Dinner at Eight" is known for its sharp wit, sophisticated dialogue, and biting social commentary. The film satirizes the superficiality and pretensions of high society, while also exploring themes of love, ambition, and class conflict.
Jean Harlow delivers a standout performance as Kitty Packard, capturing her character's blend of vulnerability and bravado with charm and charisma. Wallace Beery brings his trademark gruffness and bluster to the role of Dan Packard, creating a memorable portrayal of a ruthless and self-made businessman.
"Dinner at Eight" received critical acclaim upon its release and is now regarded as one of the greatest films of the pre-Code era. Its stellar cast, sharp writing, and deft direction have cemented its status as a classic of American cinema, beloved by audiences for generations.
