The Palm Beach Story (1942 Preston Sturges & scr)

"I'll take a Prairie Oyster too. Make mine on the half shell." What is a Prairie Oyster? It's a hangover cure, made with raw egg, Worcestershire sauce and a hot sauce, with optional tomato juice / alcohol. 

It's lovely to see Sturges' stock company of supporting actors all over the place.


"Tomorrow let's go to Fort Myers. There's nothing there, but the drive might be nice."

Victor Milner won an Oscar for photographing Claudette in the 1934 Cleopatra. Don't believe me?
