I should really start calling my Quick Reactions
"1950 and Before Reactions". I don't give old cinema the respect I
should. Or maybe I just have very simple opinions about them. For example, The
Lady Eve. This movie is great. Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda work
excellently together. I've seen versions of a "con falls in love with her
mark" dozens of times, but when it's done well, it's still super
enjoyable. The Lady Eve is an early example of this, so I recognize
every beat of it. It's executed excellently though. I need to see more Barbara
Stanwyck movies now!*
*I just remembered that she's also the lead in Double Indemnity. I really am becoming a Stanwyck
fan.
Verdict: Weakly Recommend
