SYNOPSIS
Yankee practicality collides with New York’s sophisticated Art World in Sidney Howard’s sly 1930s comedy THE LATE CHRISTOPHER BEAN. All hell breaks loose when a celebrated painter’s early works are traced to the humble home of a country doctor. Both a biting satire on the destructive power of greed and a touching view of a family in turmoil, this feisty comedy will have you cheering for the most unlikely of heroines.
by Sidney Howard
based upon 'Prenez Garde a la Peinture' by Rene Fauchois
