Description


From the brilliant comedic writer/director, Preston Sturges, these high-energy screwball comedies, marked by fast, witty dialogue and endless sight gags, became instant classics in the early 40s.

The Lady Eve (1941) - the ultimate battle of the sexes when a wealthy heir (Henry Fonda – 12 Angry Men) falls (literally!) for a con woman (Barbara Stanwyck – Double Indemnity) with a shady past.

Sullivan’s Travels (1943) - In this comedic masterpiece a wealthy director (Joel McCrea) wants to find “real” people for his next great film (co-starring Veronica Lake).

The Palm Beach Story (1942) - money makes the world go round or so Gerry (Claudette Colbert – It Happened One Night) believes when she divorces her struggling husband (Joel McCrea) and supports him by marrying a millionaire.
