Der Mann, der zum Essen kam (1941)
Auf einer Vortragsreise leistet sich der scharfzüngige Rundfunkstar Sheridan Whiteside einen Ausrutscher auf dem Glatteis und wird zur Genesung bei der wohlhabenden Familie Stanley einquartiert. Unverzüglich beginnt er, Gift und Galle über seine Gastgeber und sonstige Opfer auszuschütten. Dank seiner außerordentlichen Intelligenz hält er sich für allein fähig, das Privatleben seiner Mitmenschen zu ordnen, vor allem, was seine Privatsekretärin Maggie und deren sich anbahnende Romanze mit dem lokalen Journalisten Jefferson betrifft.
