In the lower-middle-class Adams family, father and son are happy to work in a drugstore, but mother and daughter Alice try every possible social-climbing stratagem despite snubs and embarrassment. When Alice finally meets her dream man Arthur, mother nags father into a risky business venture and plans to impress Alice's beau with an "upscale" family dinner. Will the excruciating results drive Arthur away?

Alice Adams Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 16, 2025
    When Hepburn puts on her aristocratic air, it's an iconic moment that people who have never seen the film will recognize. Her performance makes the film memorable, but the plot's exploration of class and wealth left me thinking. Watch for the line, "Did she break any of our things?" and see how it hits you.
