“One of those precious films where only superlatives will do: a peak for Sturges, for Barbara Stanwyck, and for Old Hollywood, and an effortless example of how a good screwball comedy can offer a great deal more insight than most dramas.”
—Mubi
Preston Sturges’s screwball comedy is well known as a triumph of writing, directing, and the acting of its stellar cast, led by Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck, who has never been better or funnier, and yes, we know that’s a bold statement. Bring a date. Bring two! In 35mm.
