Based on the play by the New Yorker fiction and poetry contributor George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart (the subject of a 1943 New Yorker profile).
U.S., 1932
Directed by Russell Mack
With Jack Oakie, Sidney Fox, Aline MacMahon, Zasu Pitts
Approx. 91 min. DCP.
Connivers Jack Oakie and Aline MacMahon ride the wave of the Talkie Panic, with viciously funny satires of the junkmen/glove salesmen/furriers-turned-Hollywood moguls still intact from the stage original — the first of Kaufman & Hart's 10-year string of hits.
Presented with support from the Ada Katz Fund for Literature in Film and the Robert Jolin Osborne Endowed Fund for American Classic Cinema of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s
