A trio of classy card sharks targets a socially awkward brewery heir, until one of them falls in love with him.
A delightful romp through the world of screwball comedy, 'The Lady Eve' charmed me with its wit and charm. Barbara Stanwyck's performance as Jean Harrington is a masterclass in comedic timing and charisma, her every line and gesture a joy to behold. The film's clever plot twists and the sparkling chemistry between the leads make it a captivating watch. It's a testament to the era's ability to craft stories that are as entertaining as they are clever.
