Preston Sturges’ engaging and vivacious romantic comedy stars Barbara Stanwyck as Jean Harrington, a con artist who falls in love with her latest mark, gullible millionaire Charles Pike (Henry Fonda). But when her gold-digging ways are exposed and she’s kicked to the curb, Jean masquerades as the upscale Lady Eve Sidwich and returns to make Pike’s life miserable. William Demarest, Charles Coburn, and Eugene Pallette provide fine support. 93 min.
