I Will Defend the Weenie King
Host Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr, Dr. Drang, Annette Wierstra, and Nathan Alderman
Probably the best of the Sturges comedies, The Palm Beach Story is part romance, part screwball comedy, part drawing room comedy. The performances sparkle, the movie looks great, and the plot is inventive. Joel McCrea and Claudette Colbert are our delightful stars. And I get to talk about Mary Astor some more. Don’t miss this one, kids.
