Discussion of "The Palm Beach Story"

The Palm Beach Story (1942) is an American screwball comedy written and directed by Preston Sturges and starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, and Rudy Vallee. The cinematography is by Victor Milner, and the music is by Victor Young.

Tom Jeffers (McCrea) is an inventor going through a rough patch with his wife, Gerry (Colbert). Used to living an upper-class life in New York City, their current financial situation (not good) isn't helping the relationship.

Gerry, still in love with her husband, develops a plan that seems to make no sense to anyone but her. Will her plan throw her marriage into greater peril or save it?
