Preston Sturges

Preston Sturges brings his incomparable screwball sensibilities to this black romantic comedy starring Rex Harrison as a symphony conductor plotting revenge against his wife, who he believes has been cheating.

A temperamental Broadway producer trains an untutored actress, but when she becomes a star, she proves a match for him.

Successful movie director John L. Sullivan, convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to "know trouble" first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion, he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.

Screen legends Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda star in this 1941 Oscar-nominated rom-com.
