The Palm Beach Story is a 1942 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 film, the pacing and dialogue of The Palm Beach Story are very fast.
The film was distributed by Paramount Pictures.
