Oscar® winners James Stewart and Lionel Barrymore star alongside Jean Arthur in this classic screwball comedy.

The son of a snobbish Wall Street banker becomes engaged to a woman from a good-natured, but eccentric, family. What they don't realise is that his father is trying to force her family from their home for a real estate development.

Based on the phenomenally successful play by Kaufman and Hart, You Can’t Take it With You is a comedic reflection on rediscovering the simple joys of life.
