Four-Star Films : ‘The Palm Beach Story’
- Share via
This 1942 romantic comedy is Preston Sturges at his most giddy and irresistible. Claudette Colbert (pictured, with Joel McCrea), Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor make up a set of intersecting triangles that have more points than a porcupine. The settings are New York, Palm Beach and points between--mostly on a train that’s been taken over by the rowdies of the immortal Ale and Quail Club. (AMC Monday at 7:15 p.m. and 11:15 p.m.; Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.)
