"For Rent" signs used to be really fancy.

Summary (via) - 

Preston Sturges helmed this screwball comedy about Gerry Jeffers (Claudette Colbert), a woman who'll do anything to help her struggling architect spouse, Tom (Joel McCrea), succeed. When she realizes Tom will never strike it rich, Gerry decides to divorce him, wed a wealthy man and finance Tom's projects -- so she heads to Palm Beach, Fla., where she tries to land eccentric billionaire John D. Hackensacker III (Rudy Vallee).

I don't really have a bushel of comments for this one, but I enjoyed it. So know that.

Honestly, not the most attractive bracelet ever.

Obsessed with the back of this dress.

"Hackensacker" is the best last name ever. The end.
