Review of The Palm Beach Story (1942) by Emily B — 18 Feb 2008

This film has a suprising opening that makes no sense until the last shot of the film. Athough at first jarring and confusing, this hilarious film, while sometimes racist and bigoted, sweeps the opening out of sight until the funniest gag of all--the end scene of the wedding.

A satirical look at the wealthy of America where the middle class, although sometimes confused, are always a hell of a lot happier than the upper class.
