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.
"...grows funnier with each viewing--thanks to Sturges's script, breathless pace, and two incomparable stars." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Editor's Note
Directed by Preston Sturges, THE LADY EVE stars Barbara Stanwyck as Jean Herrington, a sly con artist aboard a transatlantic ocean liner who happens to run across Charles Pike (Henry Fonda), a snake expert returning from a year in the Amazon jungle. Since Pike is the wealthy and shy heir to a beer fortune, he seems like the perfect target for one of Jean's cons, but as she deceives him she finds herself falling in love. One of Sturges's most hilarious comedies, THE LADY EVE is a romantic comedy masterpiece with two of Hollywood's stars at the top of their form.
