The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942)

starring Bette Davis, Ann Sheridan, Monte Woolley

directed by William Keighley

Sheridan Whitehead (Monte Woolley), writer and radio personality, is visiting a small town in Ohio when he slips and falls. The people at whose home he was supposed to have dinner allow him to stay until he gets better. They quickly learn to regret being so generous.

Whitehead pushes everyone around. The only person who pushes back is Maggie Cutler (Bette Davis), his secretary. She's had enough of his shenanigans. She decides to quit after meeting and falling in love with Bert Jefferson, the owner/editor/reporter for the local paper. Sheridan refuses to take the news sitting down, even though he is confined to a wheelchair while he recovers, and quickly comes up with a scheme to break up Maggie and Bert.

Sheridan Whitehead convinces Lorraine Sheldon (Ann Sheridan), an actress who spends most of her time chasing after a rich man, to come to Ohio. Bert has written a play and Sheridan is convinced that if Lorraine can distract Bert enough then Maggie will throw in the towel and continue to work for him.

Maggie gets wise to Sheridan's ploy and comes up with a scheme of her own to chase Lorraine away from Bert. It works until Sheridan figures out what she's up to and pulls the rug out from under her. The scheming doesn't end there.
