Description:
A witty, fast-talking screwball comedy from Preston Sturges about Eve, a clever con woman who falls for and then entangles herself with Charles Pike, a besotted heir played by Henry Fonda, while posing as a mysterious temptress. Their sparkling romance collapses under a web of deception, mistaken identities, and rapid-fire quips, as Eve and Pike duel with witty banter and farcical schemes. A landmark Hollywood comedy of manners with sly social satire.Keywords:
