The Lady Eve (1941 Preston Sturges & scr)

An incredible cast - Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, William Demarest, Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette, Eric Blore, Robert Greig, Melville Cooper, Luis Alberni.

So many long takes, especially between Stanwyck and Fonda, and their incredible closeness. Brilliant cards scene between Coburn, Stanwyck and Fonda.

Another of Sturges' great breakfast menus, delivered by Jimmy Conlin: "Good morning sir. Fruit, cereal, bacon and eggs, eggs and sausage, sausage and hot cakes, hot cakes and ham, ham and eggs, eggs and bacon..."



Stanwyck beautifully oblivious to horse
