Four-Star Films : ‘The Lady Eve’
This Preston Sturges’ 1941 classic, which stars Henry Fonda as a wealthy but naive snake fancier who’s been up the Amazon too long and Barbara Stanwyck as the con woman of the century, has the benefit of the most audacious of plot twists. If there exists a better-played American farce, its name does not come immediately to mind (AMC Friday at 5:15 and 9 p.m.).
