Directed by Preston Sturges
With Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda
Romantic comedy achieves perfection in Sturges’ screwball classic with
Fonda as a clumsy, naïve professor who narrowly avoids being duped by
gold-digger Stanwyck. But even as she vows to get back at him, she
can’t help but find herself attracted to his bumbling charm. Sturges’
crackling dialogue and wiseacre biblical imagery of the title are a
marvel, and they’re taken to new heights by Stanwyck and Fonda’s fiery
on-screen chemistry.

“Very nearly perfection, and quintessential Sturges.”—Time Out London
