Tired Old Queen at the Movies: The Palm Beach Story

Steve Hayes reviews the classic screwball comedy, which your Head Trucker highly recommends:

Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea have a field day in the zany Preston Sturges comedy PALM BEACH STORY (1942). With able support from such Sturges comic regulars as William Demarest, Jimmy Conlin, and Roscoe Ates, and with brilliant comedic turns by Rudee Vallee and Mary Astor, it’s a happy, slapstick free-for-all, loaded with sophisticated dialogue, unexpected reversals, and sexy innuendos. The perfect way to start the New Year off with a bang!
