“The Most Beautiful Set-up”: Marriage in Two Films by Preston Sturges

The author focuses on two movies by the famous writer-director Preston Sturges: The Palm Beach Story 1942 and The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek 1944, and specifically on the ways both works depict marriage. He connects those ways to Sturges’ own life as well as to his other works and provides a biographical introduction in the first part of his essay. The author stresses subversive elements in Sturges’ treatment of marriage, but also reveals its surprisingly conservative undercurrent.
