The musical version of the Kaufman and Hart comedy The Man Who Came to Dinner (1939) featured Clive Revill as the celebrated radio star Sheridan Whiteside who is laid up in the Ohio home of the Stanley family and drives them all to distraction with his demands. Elizabeth Allen was his wisecracking secretary Maggie, Dolores Gray was the temperament star Lorraine Sheldon, and Byron Webster was the Noel Cowardish Englishman Beverly Carlton.
