Palm Beach Story 1942 Written and directed by Preston Sturges.
An inventor has a project he wants to build. He wants to suspend a metal grid over the center of town so planes can land on it. The idea is that they'll save all the land for other use. It's a stupid idea and no one has taken him up on it. The inventor is out of money and his wife is not happy. She likes a lavish lifestyle, her plan is to divorce him and remarry into money. Maybe she can sling some to her ex hubby and he can get his dubious plan built.
That's the premise Preston Sturges came up with to carry the movie to the end. The wife's looks help her get a new beau, one of the richest men in the country. He comes with a balmy sister who likes her men handsome. The original couple almost get married but they realize they still love each other. Lucky for them some last minute twins pop up and everyone marries someone.
Not as funny as I hoped. Maybe the least interesting of Preston's films. Generally I'm not much of a Preston fan.
