What The Lady Eve Is About
A confidence trickster working a liner picks out a rich and entirely guileless man who studies snakes. Then she falls for him and it all goes wrong. In the second half the film brings her back under a completely different identity and leaves it unclear whether he notices. The comedy comes out of that uncertainty; who is fooling whom stays open to the end. Preston Sturges wrote and directed, with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. Who it's for: those who like fast-talking classical comedy. Who it's not for: viewers wanting believable romance; the film strains logic deliberately.
