Few directors will have as many movies placed in the National Film Registry as Preston Sturges. "The Lady Eve" was his third movie that he both wrote and directed. In fact, he was the first writer Hollywood writer allowed to direct his own movie. He knew what he wrote and he knew who he wanted to say the lines he had written. In this case, Barbara Stanywck and Henry Fonda were his choices. She plays a card shark posing as a member of a rich family and Henry Fonda an innocent millionaire. The two would have many twists and turns in their relationship. It is all wonderful fun and made for a classic movie. P.S. KCLS has 3 copies "The Lady Eve" and none are checked out. This is an excellent time to have a wonderful movie right away.
