Preston Sturges: Palm Beach Story

BBC One
on BBC One London

Starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee.

Jerry Jeffers loves her unsuccessful husband Tom but decides she can do more to get his invention of a 'suspended airport' adopted if she obtains a divorce.
Hailed as a strong contender for one of the best comedies ever filmed, it bears the hallmark of Preston Sturges's unerring choice of ideal talents.
