#103 - The Lady Eve


The Lady Eve is a fun little comedy - Barbara Stanwyck is the con artist gone good, and Henry Fonda is the innocent rich boy taken for a ride

Never heard of this film or Preston Sturges before but he did well here - I would be remiss in pointing out the character Barbara plays doesn't just seduce Henry Fonda but the rest of us as well.   Her inflate/deflate/inflate flirting is enough to leave any poor guy stymied.   I don't wanna say too much else cause to be honest, I don't wanna spoil it - but I'm just glad it wasn't another rich person melodrama like that batch of three we had back there with Sirk and the like
