YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU
Written By: Moss Hart & George S. Kaufman
Fairleigh Dickinson University, Madison NJ
Synopsis: The family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University – but don’t go looking for it.” Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving young woman who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies. When Alice falls for Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families – so unlike in manner, politics and finances – will never come together. But why be obsessed by money? After all, you can’t take it with you.
