Welcome
Time: the late 1930s, Mesalia, Ohio.
The famously outlandish New York City radio wit Sheridan Whiteside, having broken his hip in a fall from a Mesalia, Ohio porch, is forced by a doddering physician to remain in the home of his erstwhile hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest W. Stanley. Tended to by a crisp, long-suffering secretary, Maggie Cutler, and a befuddled nurse called Miss Preen, Whiteside prepares his annual Christmas broadcast while Mr. Stanley's weird sister flits about and various friends travel cross country to crack wise at the invalid's knee. Complications arise when Maggie falls for a local newspaperman, Bert Jefferson, who's written a play worthy of Katherine Cornell. Whiteside, distressed at the thought of losing Maggie after 10 productive years, schemes to bring glamorous stage actress Lorraine Sheldon to Mesalia so she can get her manicured hands on Jefferson's manuscript as well as on Jefferson and thereby throw a monkey wrench into the impending engagement. |
