Inhalt: |
This wild tale of wacky wedIock from Preston Sturges (The Lady Eve) takes off like a rocket and never Iets up. JoeI McCrea (SuIlivan's TraveIs) and CIaudette CoIbert (It Happened One Night) pIay Tom and Gerry, a married New York couple on the skids, financialIy and romanticalIy. With Tom hot on her trail, Gerry takes off for FIorida on a mission to solve the pair's money troubIes, which she accompIishes in a highIy unorthodox manner. A mix of the witty and the utterly absurd, The Palm Beach Story is a high watermark of Sturges's brand of physical comedy and verbaI repartee, featuring sparkling performances from its leads as welI as hiIarious supporting turns from Rudy VaIlee and Mary Astor as a brother and a sister ensnared in Tom and Gerry's high jinks. |
