When her cover is blown, con artist Barbara Stanwyck returns as “Lady Eve” to seduce her chosen prey (Henry Fonda).
Introduction by Prof. Noah Isenberg
What’s to keep Jean Herrington (Barbara Stanwyck), a con artist with a heart of gold, from falling in love with her chosen prey, a bungling herpetologist (Henry Fonda) with spectacularly deep pockets? When the initial scheme fizzles and her cover is blown, Jean returns as “Lady Eve Sidwich,” from one of the lesser-known families. Jean’s imaginary royal bloodlines are matched only by her recurrent foiled efforts, whether by train or by ship, to seal the deal with her man. D: Preston Sturges, US, 1941, 94m
