Suggestion: A Preston Sturges Versus Episode

[pomattovich 75]

I would love to get a Preston Sturges film into The Canon, ideally in a verses episode. My personal favorite is THE LADY EVE, but I think SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS tends to get the most love. A fight between those two would ensure that either victor would be a winner. But I wouldn't rule out HAIL THE CONQUERING HERO, THE PALM BEACH STORY, or THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN CREEK. Nearly every film he made was a great one. I adore the films of Frank Capra, but I think in many ways Sturges was more on point with his depictions of quirky whimsy of small town life. And I think that Sturges' edgy satire rivaled even that of some of the films of Billy Wilder. I'd also be very curious to see which Sturges films are Amy and Devin's favorites.

Yes, please! I adore THE PALM BEACH STORY & THE LADY EVE. I recently watched a 7-film boxset of his, and in every movie I could see the Coen brothers eating this up.

Palm Beach Story is freaking great
