furbelow, furkids, pet, sulk, in a sulk, board up

“The Lady Eve” may be Preston Sturges’s most beloved film. Henry Fonda plays Charles (Hopsie) Pike, a lanky heir to an ale fortune who dabbles as a snake expert. While travelling on a cruise ship, Hopsie falls for a con woman named Jean Harrington (Barbara Stanwyck). After realizing that Jean has been deceiving him, he sulks off to his Connecticut manor, where he encounters Jean again, though this time she has disguised herself as Lady Eve Sidwich, a louche aristocrat. The zany setup involves several layers of self-deception—a theme Sturges explores in many of his films. Read more about the master of the screwball comedy: http://nyer.cm/vo2JqB0
