    I think one might be the Capra classic, "You Can't Take it With You," which preceded the pairing of Barrymore and Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" by about 10 years. It's also interesting that Barrymore and Stewart had a reversal of fortune in those films because, in the first film, Stewart was the wealthy one. I saw this film on TCM, and it was charming, smart, and funny. I have not seen or read the play.

    DRIVING MISS DAIISY and YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU are the two correct answers.

    AMADEUS won the 1981 Tony Award for Best Play, but I don't believe that it received the Pulitzer Prize.
