Alice Adams
US (1935): Comedy/Drama
In the lower-middle-class Adams family, father and son (Fred Stone and Frank Albertson) are happy to work in a drugstore, but mother (Ann Shoemaker) and daughter Alice (Katharine Hepburn) try every possible social-climbing stategem despite snubs and embarrassment. When Alice finally meets her dream man Arthur (Fred MacMurray), mother nags father into a risky business venture and plans to impress Alice's beau with an "upscale" family dinner. Will the excruciating results drive Arthur away? George Stevens directs this RKO remake of the 1923 adaptation of Booth Tarkington's novel. (Rod Crawford, IMDb)
