Storyline:As Professor Lowe assured everyone: "We""re gonna be safe here," there were pounding noises at the lab doors.Its title was a takeoff on the similar film title,The Philadelphia Story (1940).It was thefifthof eight films that Sturges wrote and directed for Paramount Studios between his most prolific years, from 1940 and 1946:The Great McGinty (1940)Christmas in July (1940)The Lady Eve (1941)Sullivan""s Travels (1942)The Palm Beach Story (1942)The Miracle of Morgan""s Creek (1944)Hail the Conquering Hero (1944)The Great Moment (1946)The film is literally full of choice, timeless, quotable lines of dialogue, although a portion of the film is slightly dated (the character of the black train porter).The idea of a sequel following the film""s success, to be titledThe Further Adventures of the Maltese Falcon, was scrapped when Huston became unavailable and when Hammett demanded an exorbitant financial guarantee.After playing furiously along with a live jazz recording, he slumps in his chair, closes his eyes and looks inward, and bows his head to the recording""s applause.
