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
