The Lady Eve

Those of you in and around Nashville really need to head to the Belcourt next weekend for one of my favorite movies, “The Lady Eve”, as part of its series “Family Weekend Classics.”

It’s directed by Preston Sturges — which ought to be enough, right there — and stars Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck in a screwball comedy. (Because when you think “Henry Fonda,” you automatically think “screwball comedy.”) Fonda is the straight-arrow, nerdy, science-minded heir to a brewing fortune (”The ale that won for Yale”) and Stanwyck is a con artist trying to take him for as much as possible. Hollywood being Hollywood, romance ensues, but Sturges is never going to take you directly from point A to point B without a hilarious side trip through points C, D and E.

If you’ve never seen it, it’s not to be missed.
