The Lady Eve (1941)
Country: US
Technical: bw 94m
Director: Preston Sturges
Cast: Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, William Demarest
Synopsis:
A trio of cardsharps target the heir to a fortune in breweries, but then one of them falls for him.
Review:
Sturges was by now getting in his stride with a run of classic comedies, rarely without some sort of satirical bite. This is one of the best, if not the best, eschewing the stridency that can tar his more populist characters in favour of a creamy smooth sophistication.
