"Dodsworth" is a really fun choice.
Please join us if you haven't in the past as it's a fun group. We have a good time chatting about the movie we're all watching at the same time.
If you do, here is a good link to a copy of the movie: "Dodsworth" link

Marvelous cast, excellent direction and production values. It's a classic for a reason!

I’m a big fan of Sinclair Lewis’s novels (although I haven’t read them all), and among the movie versions that I’ve seen, Dodsworth is, by far, my favorite. Top’s description above succinctly describes why it’s probably the best Sinclair Lewis adaptation. Hope you all enjoy it!

I'll hold it for you, Galacticgirrrl!
I was just reading about Ruth Chatterton and evidently she did a really good pre-code called "Female." I may be watching that next.
