The Plot

Kaufman’s first hit comedy was also his initial collaboration with Marc Connelly. Based on a well-known comic heroine made popular in Frank Pierce Adams‘ column, Dulcy is an engaging comedy about an incipient business deal among suburban neighbors that nearly falls apart—until our heroine, Duclinea, a kind of endearing dingbat in the Gracie Allen mode, saves the day with her innocent brand of common sense.
