<p class=BasicParagraph>This holiday chaos in three acts, by the legendary team
of Kaufman and Hart, holds its place as one of the most beloved American comedies.
Sheridan Whiteside is a New Yorker to the last follicle of his beard and a
critic of the entertainment industry – along with absolutely everything
and everyone else. A slip on an icy step finds him “wounded” and
trapped in the home of the Stanley family and no one in the house, or in the
town of Mesalia, for that matter, will ever be the same.<o:p></o:p></p>
