DINNER AT EIGHT
"DINNER AT EIGHT" --- (1933) ---
MY THOUGHTS:
This was my first time watching this film and I truly enjoyed it! I was very happy to see so many legendary actors / actresses in the cast. I had not the privilege of seeing some of them perform, prior to this., and was thrilled to be able to watch Jean Harlow in action. She was really something in this movie. And, while I didn't recognize her by her face, I knew who Billie Burke was right away, because of her distinctive voice. I really enjoyed this film a great deal!
