L'eterna illusione (1938)
Alice, l'unico membro relativamente normale della eccentrica famiglia Sycamore, si innamora di Tony Kirby. Il suo ricco padre, un banchiere, e la madre snob disapprovano l'unione. Quando i Kirby sono invitati a cena per conoscere i futuri suoceri, le cose non vanno come Alice avrebbe sperato...
