By the late 1930s, Preston Sturges had established himself as a writer of remarkable wit and sophistication. In this first directorial effort, he charts the unlikely rise and fall of a corrupt New York Governor (Brian Donlevy), an example of the comedic American social commentary for which Sturges became so well known. It’s a broadly entertaining film, as pleasing as the succulent flavors and fruit-forward aromas of this smooth Chardonnay.

MOVIE: Jezebel (1938)
WINE: El Enhebro Blanco 2023

Few actresses of the 1930s (or any era) can rival Bette Davis’ fiery charisma and appeal. In the first of three movies she made with director William Wyler, Davis plays the audacious Julie Marsden, a woman determined to maintain her independence and the upper hand in relationships with men, set against the backdrop of antebellum New Orleans. The film was in some ways Warner Bros.’ answer to Gone with the Wind, which was then in production. But it’s also a great pairing for this fresh, elegant Spanish white.

MOVIE: 48 Hrs. (1982)
WINE: 48 HRS. Zinfandel 2020

This classic action comedy helped to launch the "buddy cop" genre. Eddie Murphy, in his first movie, stars as Reggie Hammond, a convicted armed robber who is given a 48-hour release to help Inspector Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) stop a pair of cop killers. Launched to modest fanfare, it gained enough steam to end up as the seventh-highest grossing film of the year. Robust and equally exciting, this California Zinfandel makes for a perfect partner to the onscreen antics.
