The Palm Beach Story (1942)

I film originally titled "Is Marriage Necessary?" but deemed inappropriate by the Production Code. Ironic that now we have movies with such titles as Why Did I Get Married?

Claudette Colbert plays a housewife of an inventor. This inventor has been down on his luck and they are about to be evicted. An old oil tycoon gifts here the rent because he doesn't like to see such a pretty girl get kicked out. She then gets the bright idea of divorcing her husband so she can marry someone rich and give him the money he needs for his invention.

Overall this movie was boring. There was no excitement other than the train ride and everything works out perfectly in classic Hollywood fashion. There was no drama and I didn't laugh. Just average is a generous rating, this should not have been in the AFI 100 Laughs...

Vote: 6/10
