In this hilarious comedy classic, Kaufman and Hart focus on America's national obsession with celebrity. Thanks to Sheridan Whiteside, famous critic, celebrity lecturer, radio personality, “intimate friend of the great and near great, and by many accounts, the world's rudest man,” the holiday season at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley of Mesalia, Ohio promises to be anything but an old-fashioned Christmas. A nasty spill on an icy porch during a winter lecture tour forces the formidable Mr. Whiteside to convalesce for the holidays in Middle America. His extended family of luminaries, mad visionaries, and assorted oddballs threatens the narrow provincial values and rectitude of the Stanley home. He physically overtakes the house, insinuates himself in family affairs, and becomes the occasion for a nightmarish Twelve Days of Christmas featuring ten-thousand cockroaches, a clutch of choir boys, four penguins, three celebrities, two convicts, an octopus, and an Egyptian mummy.
