Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Palm Beach Story is a 1942 screwball comedy from writer/director Preston Sturges. The story concerns a New York couple who are struggling to make ends meet. The wife (Claudette Colbert) comes up with a Zany Scheme to divorce her husband (a struggling inventor played by Joel McCrea) so she can get a new rich husband to help her ex-husband with his plans for an above-ground airport. She runs away to Palm Beach to get her divorce, her husband right behind her because he disapproves of the whole thing, and she captures the eye of one of the richest men in the world, Hackensacker (Rudy Vallee). The husband butts in and has to pretend to be his wife's brother, and he becomes the target of affection from the multiple-divorced sister of Hackensacker, the princess Centimillia (Mary Astor). As they get deeper and deeper into this scheme, she begins to have second thoughts. |
