The Palm Beach Story
The Palm Beach Story is a 1942 American screwball comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges, and starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor and Rudy Vallée. Victor Young contributed the musical score, including a fast-paced variation of the William Tell Overture for the opening scenes. Typical of a Sturges production, the pacing and dialogue of The Palm Beach Story are very fast
"Mary Astor — The Princess Centimillia"
"I dont begin and end with a smelter, you know."
"Youre married to me; thats like saying, youre blind to me. For a long time, Ive been a part of you, just something to snuggle up to and keep you warm at night, like a blanket, but you cant see me any more than you can see the back of your neck."
"Well, you know we dont love each other anymore. Were just habits, bad habits...And when loves gone, theres nothing left but admiration and respect."
"You have no idea what a long-legged gal can do without doing anything."
"Thats my wife, you dumb cluck!"
