JEFF BROWN:

In "You Can't Take It With You," Jones plays Grandpa, the patriarch of an unusually happy — and wacky — family in Depression-era New York whose members live life as they please — not paying income taxes, not working, simply because they don't feel like it.

One review said Jones "infuses every word with a steady grace." But Jones told us for as long as he can remember he's been uncomfortable with words — a man with difficulty expressing himself.

How can you think of yourself as inarticulate? You don't— You think of yourself that way?
