The plot revolves around Richard Bean (Kline), a Broadway star known for his egotism, who experiences a public breakdown and retreats to his hometown. After returning to the family-run theater where he first discovered his talent, he finds his father, the former artistic director, suffering from dementia. The theater, now reduced to a dinner theater serving murder mysteries, is run by his brother (Tenney) and sister-in-law, who is also the town’s mayor. Determined to restore the theater’s former glory, Richard plans to stage a great American classic, with himself as director and star, in an effort to save both the theater and the town.
家庭剧院这个场景设定很棒，充满了回忆，《美国经典》的氛围感拉满了。
最近剧荒，发现《美国经典》，还不错，有看头。
理查德从崩溃到振作，这个过程在《美国经典》里演得很细腻。
