It's no accident when wealthy Charles falls for Jean. Jean is a con artist with her sights set on Charles' fortune. Matters complicate when Jean starts falling for her mark. When Charles suspects Jean is a gold digger, he dumps her. Jean, fixated on revenge and still pining for the millionaire, devises a plan to get back in Charles' life. With love and payback on her mind, she re-introduces herself to Charles, this time as an aristocrat named Lady Eve Sidwich.

I love this movie, even more upon rewatch. The comedy here is sometimes broad (Pike's frequent falls) but is more often highly nuanced, almost mumbled, in understated line readings that came alive for me on second viewing. I love the intricate motifs of cards and snakes, and the film moves along briskly and never overstays its welcome. Stanwyck is reliably outstanding, and the two big seduction scenes are unbelievably sexy. It's less manic and more romantic than my other favorite screwball comedies, and it ranks up there as a favorite.

Stanwyck and Fonda are great. Didn't even know that Fonda once made such lighthearted movies. 80 years later, this movie is still enjoyable. It's romantic and funny. At times silly (even the ending: he is dumb isn't he?). Certainly not an intellectual pic. However, 40s fashion, style, manners, vocab More
