An Original Vintage Movie Program Book (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]; 18 pages) (Learn More) Dinner at Eight, the classic 1933 George Cukor New York City high society romantic comedy ("Greatest entertainment ever offered by stage or screen"; "From the Sam H. Harris stage play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber"; about a rich couple who throw a dinner for a group of very different New York society types, and young Jean Harlow steals the show as the trophy girlfriend of rich Wallace Beery) starring Marie Dressler, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, Edmund Lowe, Billie Burke, Madge Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen Morley, and Phillips Holmes. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
