The Ten-Year Lunch(a.k.a. "The Ten-Year Lunch: The Wit and Legend of the Algonquin Round Table")
US (1987): Documentary
From 1919 to 1929 in New York City's Algonquin Hotel, a group of critics, humorists, playwrights, novelists, poets, and editors (Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Harold Ross, Heywood Broun, George S. Kaufman, Marc Connelly, Edna Ferber, Alexander Woollcot, et al.) met for lunch to exchange opinions, gossip, and the most cutting wit of the day. Aviva Slesin's award-winning documentary recounts the lives and times of these men and women whose barbed humor and literary sophistication embodied the best American culture in the 1920's.
