New York City
In this hilarious comedy, Sheridan Whiteside, theatre critic, lecturer, and radio personality, arrives to dine at the home of the prominent Stanley family in a small Midwestern town and slips on their doorstep and injures his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow, during which Whiteside monopolizes the living room and takes over the Stanley household. Before it’s over, the outrageous has become commonplace.
