SUMMARY:The Lady Eve
DESCRIPTION:Preston Sturges’ daring and sexy romantic comedy The Lady Eve (1941) opens as a naturalist (Henry Fonda) emerges from the jungle after a year up the Amazon studying snakes. On board a ship\, he is targeted by a female cardsharp (Barbara Stanwyck). When the two begin to fall in love\, complications arise for both the con woman and the mark. Widely lauded as one of the best screwball films of all time\, this film was a favorite of both Stanwyck and Fonda\, who crackle and crack up as a duo. The film is the first of seven discussed in Stanley Cavell’s landmark study Pursuits of Happiness\, in which he defined his “remarriage comedy” concept and explored philosophical ideas through Hollywood comedies. \nSandra Laugier  (Philosophy\, University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and William Rothman (Cinema and Interactive Media\, University of Miami) will join moderator Dominique Jullien (French and Italian Studies\, UCSB) for a post-screening discussion.
