Whimsical, funny and heart warming, You Can't Take It with You, like all classics, has stood the test of time. With a Pulitzer Prize-winning play as its source material, the film is a class act in every respect. Director Frank Capra called its central message one of "Love Thy Neighbor," and the message, elegant in its simplicity, is just as relevant today as it was seventy years ago.

Grandpa Vanderhof, the patriarch of the eccentric, free-spirited Sycamore family in Depression era New York, believes people should do only what makes them happy. Granddaughter Alice (Jean Arthur) has fallen in love with Tony Kirby (James Stewart), who comes from a privileged family that is all about propriety. When the time comes for Tony's stuffy parents to meet Alice's family, disaster seems well at hand.
