I just watched Frank Capra's 1938 screwball comedy movie "You Can't Take it With You."
It's about a family of free-spirited eccentrics who live for fun. Grandpa Vanderhof is the head patriarch played to perfection by Lionel Barrymore, who portrays bad guy Mr. Potter in Capra's "It's a Wonderful Life."
Mayhem ensues when the daughter of this family falls in love with the son (Jimmy Stewart) of a stereotypically snobbish rich banking family.
