Movie Reviews

Antagony & Ecstasy - 10/10 by Tim BraytonOne of the funniest movies ever made, and that is that.
Chicago Sun-Times - 10/10 by Roger EbertIf I were asked to name the single scene in all of romantic comedy that was sexiest and funniest at the same time, I would advise beginning at six seconds past the 20-minute mark in Preston Sturges' The Lady Eve, and watching as Barbara Stanwyck toys with Henry Fonda's hair in an unbroken shot that lasts three minutes and 51 seconds.
Radio Times - 10/10 by Tony SlomanThis wonderfully witty masterpiece was written and directed by the inimitable Preston Sturges.
Tim Dirks' The Greatest Films - 10/10 by Tim DirksThe Lady Eve (1941) is a sophisticated romantic/sex comedy (with light romance and mock seduction scenes) - a classic screwball film,
Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Chris Barsanti...as powerful a feminist statement as it is a smart comedy, and all the more so for hardly seeming to break a sweat in the process.
The Seattle Times - 10/10 by John HartlWith The Lady Eve, which arrived yesterday at the Paramount, Mr. Sturges is indisputably established as one of the top one or two writers and directors of comedy working in Hollywood today. A more charming or distinguished gem of nonsense has not occurred since It Happened One Night.
The Guardian - 10/10 by Peter BradshawStanwyck supplies a bravura double performance, a showcase for her brilliant versatility.
Empire - 10/10 by Kim NewmanA wonderful picture set in a world of silly heirs and sharp-eyed dolls as remote from reality and yet wholly credible as that of P. G. Wodehouse.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranVery nearly perfection, and quintessential Sturges.
Combustible Celluloid - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAs usual with Sturges, you wonder how he was able to get away with so much innuendo during Hollywood's Hayes Code period.
