THE PALM BEACH STORY [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1942
• Genre: Comedy, Romance
• Plot: This wild tale of wacky wedlock from Preston Sturges takes off like a rocket and never comes down. Joel McCrea and Claudette Colbert play Tom and Gerry, a married New York couple on the skids, financially and romantically. With Tom hot on her trail, Gerry heads for Florida on a mission to solve the pair's money troubles, which she accomplishes in a highly unorthodox manner. Both witty and utterly absurd, The Palm Beach Story is a high-water mark of Sturges's brand of physical comedy and verbal repartee, featuring sparkling performances from its leads as well as hilarious supporting turns from Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor as a brother and sister ensnared in Tom and Gerry's high jinks.;
