Aro Favourite Lady Eve, The

 

USA 1941, 93 minutes
Dir. Preston Sturges
Genres: Classics / Romance, Screwball

 

Aroview: One of the greatest Hollywood screwball comedies ever, this begins with naïve zoologist Henry Fonda (“Snakes are my life”) falling in love with a repentant con-artist, Barbara Stanwyck, before events spiral out into ever-absurder dimensions. With a delightful mixture of literate dialogue and slapstick farce that was peculiar to dir. Sturges, this is guaranteed to conquer anyone’s glum day.
