The screwball comedy classic that sparked the brilliant career of writer/director Preston Sturges (Sullivan's Travels, Palm Beach Story), The Lady Eve puts a wicked comic spin on the Adam and Eve story as a naive Henry Fonda and conniving Barbara Stanwyck make a high stakes play for love. Father and daughter card sharks Jean (Stanwyck) and Harry Harrington (Charles Coburn) are looking for easy prey on a luxury ocean liner when bumbling beer baron Charles Pike (Fonda) boards the ship in South America. Pike hasn't seen a woman for six months, and quickly falls for Jean, and her con. But will love come back to bite her? Bizarre plot twists, mistaken identities and dizzying dialogue. The film received a Best Writing Oscar nomination. Outrageous slapstick and stellar performances from two of Hollywood's biggest stars mark this screwball screamer from the great Preston Sturges.
