The Palm Beach Story (1942)

"You have no idea what a long-legged woman can do without doing anything."

Director: Preston Sturges
Starring: Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea










Funny, charming, and entertaining, but ultimately nothing to write home about. I love both Colbert and McCrea, and smiled the way through, but by the end I didn't feel great about...could possibly be blamed on all loose ends tied up in one line of dialogue, I actually think the last line of dialogue. Save it for a rainy day, but don't make an event out of it. Here is my favorite scene anyway:
God bless the archetypal creepy old man.
