Frank Capra’s screwball masterpiece, You Can’t Take it With You earned several Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. In this delightful classic Martin Vanderhof (Lionel Barrymore) is the eccentric patriarch of a clan of frustrated artists, who decided thirty years ago to retire from the rat-race and encourage his family to follow their dreams. He paints, badly, but is happy, and his children pursue various strange hobbies. Only Alice (Jean Arthur) has a normal job, working as a receptionist in the offices of a somewhat shady businessman. She falls in love with her boss's son (Jimmy Stewart), who fears that his dour father would never approve of a marriage to the crazed Vanderhof family. The family tries to act normal for one night to impress the prospective in-laws, but it all goes horribly wrong, in a very funny way!
