The Lady Eve
A Valentine's rerelease of Preston Sturges's celebrated 1941 screwball comedy, which pairs Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda. Con artist Colonel Harrington (Charles Coburn), his daughter Jean (Stanwyck) and associate Gerald (Melville Cooper) target the rich and vulnerable with their clever schemes. The larcenous trio sets out to swindle Charles Pike (Fonda), who is heir to a fortune and has recently returned from an expedition up the Amazon. Jean seduces Charles and he falls head over heels in love with her, unaware she intends to drain his bank account. However, the underhand plot doesn't unfold as planned when Jean develops feelings for her prey and decides to protect Charles from her money-grabbing father.
