DINNER AT EIGHT


 "DINNER AT EIGHT" --- (1933) --- 

MY THOUGHTS:
I truly enjoy this movie every time I watch it! I am very happy that so many legendary actors / actresses are 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 enjoy this film a great deal!
