Family drama starring Bette Davis

Literary giant
Sheridan Whiteside is sweetness and light in public, but in private he is a master of the studied insult.
When he slips and injures his hip during a visit to the Stanley home, Whiteside takes over the household and forces the entire family to wait on him.
Director William Keighley (1941)
