Movie Reviews of The Palm Beach Story

Movie Review: Sexual Attraction Among Bluebloods
Summary: 5 Stars

Watch Joel McCrea demonstrate his ability to make women go weak at the knees as he tries to win back his high maintenance wife (Claudette Colbert at her classiest, sexiest best). The characters breeze their way through the film firing snappy reparte at each other, which is smoldering with sexual innuendo. Rudy Vallee and Mary Astor are great as the second bananas, and the rest of the cast is tremendous. Don't miss Charles R. Moore's hilarious explanation of JD Hackensacker's tipping generosity. Romantic comedies just aren't this subtle and witty anymore.

Movie Review: The Palm Beach Story
Summary: 5 Stars

Preston Sturges's inspired romantic romp remains delightfully kooky and fresh. McCrea and Colbert create divinely combustible chemistry, and Astor almost steals the picture as the zany heiress (her title alone is priceless). And watch out for Sturges's peerless group of comic stock players (including stand-by William Demarest), seen here in the guise of "The Ale and Quail Club". Irresistible fun.

Movie Review: Classy Film, Cheesy DVD release
Summary: 5 Stars

Would it have killed the coffers of the studio to release this classic film with some extras? Even an insert? There is not even any music on the DVD menu.

Ah well. At least people can savor the film's best line uttered by Mary Astor: "The only thing that's permanent nowadays is Roosevelt."

Movie Review: Cute & Funny
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is hilarious! Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea are awesome. The antics she uses in trying to leave him only make him want her more. This is a beautiful, yet funny love story! Even if you don't usually like old movies, you will enjoy this one ~ it is a classic!

Movie Review: The first 10 minutes are worth it...
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this film. The weenie king alone is worth the effort to see this flick (actually, this is the best part!). I love both Colbert and McCrea. Great screen presence!
