THE LADY EVE (dir. Preston Sturges, 1941, 94 min.) The perfect way to ride out the semester and the Faculty Favorites second season is with a classic screwball comedy. Preston Sturges directs Barbara Stanwyck as a con woman aboard an ocean liner who marks wealthy innocent Henry Fonda, but then falls for her prey in mid-seduction. He wises up, but she won’t give up. A breathless and seemingly effortless masquerade, THE LADY EVE is one of Stanwyck’s best and a perfect dance between romance, deception, sly humor andphysical comedy.
