THE PALM BEACH STORY (1942) - Mar. 17, 2006
A really enjoyable romantic comedy by Preston Sturges. Featuring some really well-written, crackling dialogue and a couple of excellent performances from Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea, this was a really fun movie from start to finish. It even (sort of) managed to avoid the dreaded fake breakup, by essentially making the entire film the fake breakup. Why can't they make romantic comedies this good any more? ***1/2
