Tony (Jimmy Stewart), the eldest son of millionaire Anthony P. Kirby, has fallen in love with Alice Vanderhof. She's a sweet working girl who lives with her eccentric family and a few extra misfits in a decaying old house. It's a building that just happens to stand in the way of Mr. Kirby's plans to construct an impressive office complex. But when Grandpa Vanderhof refuses to sell, it's clash of the cantankerous titans. Unfortunately, the fallout may send lovebirds Tony and Alice flying in different directions. A Capra-fied adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. Academy Award Nominations: 6, including Best Screenplay. Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director.
