eelyFeb 14, 2021Jean: Not badly. You have a right to have an ideal. Oh, I guess we all have one. Charles: What does yours look like? Jean: He's a little short guy with lots of money. Me: (ears perk up like a dog) Charles: Why short? Me: Yeah, why Jean: What does it matter if he's rich?…
demi adejuyigbeMar 9, 2021Barbara Stanwyck is so hot — very vindicating picture to watch as someone who once said an ex wouldn’t recognize me if I was wearing a new jacket (I’m right)

“ARE SNAKES NECESSARY?”
Branson ReeseMay 15, 2022Preston Sturges to himself upon meeting Henry Fonda: “I will make this handsome man fall down over and over and over again”
Patrick Willemsthis movie is just 97 minutes of Barbara Stanwyck brutally owning every person she encounters, a masterpiece.

I liked when she threw an apple at his head. You don’t see a lot of that in movies nowadays
brendan o'hareMar 31, 2022"I need him like the axe needs the turkey." What if the real con was... love. Putting Barbara Stanwyck in your movie is a cheat code to making it a down bad, "that brother's starving" classic. Henry Fonda making some of the most dazed faces you've ever seen in a movie…

It's all the little things that made me enjoy this a lot, whether it's dropping an apple on his head, a horse interfering with the proposal, or Henry Fonda falling frequently lol. Barbara Stanwyck is already becoming one of my favorites with this and Double Indemnity.

Preston Sturges extended his range beyond the crazy farces that had made his reputation with this romantic 1941 comedy, and his hand proved just as sure.
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
If I were asked to name the single scene in all of romantic comedy that was sexiest and funniest at the same time, I would advise beginning at six seconds past the 20-minute mark in Preston Sturges' The Lady Eve, and watching as Barbara Stanwyck toys with Henry Fonda's hair in an unbroken shot that lasts three minutes and 51 seconds.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
With The Lady Eve, which arrived yesterday at the Paramount, Mr. Sturges is indisputably established as one of the top one or two writers and directors of comedy working in Hollywood today. A more charming or distinguished gem of nonsense has not occurred since It Happened One Night.
