The Lady Eve - Preston Sturges (1941)

I knew nothing of this film before I saw it. I didn't know who was in it, nor had I heard of Preston Sturges before. That usually bodes well for the film, since I have no idea what to expect.

This would be classified as a 'screwball comedy'. Not usually my favourite type of film. The other one in this genre on the list is 'Bringing Up Baby'. In my humble opinion, 'The Lady Eve' is better. It's less.....screwball....and more clever.

I am not 100% sure why this one is on the list. I mean, it's a good film and all. It was the first time Barbara Stanwyck played a comedic role. It has a classic last line. (Won't tell you or it might spoil the film for you.) It does have a pretty sexy scene in it, which holds up even today. But not sure that it is 102 movie list worthy.

One word to describe 'The Lady Eve': Cute.
