ACF Masters #10: The Palm Beach Story
As promised last week, after The Lady Eve comes The Palm Beach Story, the story of Tom (Joel McCrea, ever the straight-shooting visionary) and Gerry (Claudette Colbert, as leggy, witty, and chasing after glamour as ever), a couple who can’t stick together because his business doesn’t really make money and her desire to spend money on herself doesn’t really lead her to work. A very American couple experiences the American problem, money and beauty, or how you find out what you really want and how to get it, and it takes a comic poet to solve it.

One of my favorites. Thanks for all the insight.
You’re welcome, Mama Toad–everyone else, too–glad you enjoyed it!

I liked Miracle but Hail not as much. Maybe you’ll change my mind.
Fellow, Ricochetti, I gotta question fit for the Sturges conversation–is my head screwed on right?
When you look at my post & comments, is my headshot as it should be or sideways, not to say cock-eyed!
Sideways. I just thought maybe you passed out.
I’ll lay off the bottle then!
