20. The Lady Eve (1941) "A moonlit deck is a woman's business office," Barbara Stanwyck's deliciously shady lady coos to her latest mark, the rich, priggish herpetologist played by a wide-eyed Henry Fonda. Of course they fall in love, but the most savory pleasure of this great screwball comedy is watching her teach him a little lesson about presuming to sit in judgment of a woman with a past. |
