THE PALM BEACH STORY

“THE PALM BEACH STORY is the diamond bracelet of romantic comedies: glittering, extravagant in feeling and in laughs, representative of all the things you might buy in the moonlight and come to regret the next day — but just look at the thing!” —The Criterion Collection “Sturges on the importance of money, sex, and guns — not necessarily in that order.” —Austin Chronicle Comedy of remarriage, Preston Sturges style. Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea play a couple who are unhappy with their lot in life. As they tentatively venture into other romantic situations, they each contrive to make the other partner jealous. It’s very funny, and romantic in a hard-bitten sort of way. In 35mm.
