LADY EVE, THE

Details

• Release Year: 1941
• Genre: Comedy; Romance
• Plot: A conniving father and daughter meet up with the heir to a brewery fortune–a wealthy but naive snake enthusiast–and attempt to bamboozle him at a cruise ship card table. Their plan is quickly abandoned when the daughter falls in love with their prey. But when the heir gets wise to her gold-digging ways, she must plot to re-conquer his heart. One of Sturges' most clever and beloved romantic comedies, The Lady Eve balances broad slapstick and sophisticated sexiness with perfect grace.
