Frequently Asked Questions
- What is The Miracle of Morgan's Creek / The Lady Eve about?
THE MIRACLE OF MORGAN'S CREEK, 1944, Paramount, 98 min. Betty Hutton is a World War II-era party girl who has a little too much fun out with a soldier one night. In the morning, she's pregnant with only a vague memory of what happened. Writer-director Preston Sturges' cheerfully eccentric riff on the Nativity story is as hilarious and inventive as anything he ever did, and astonishingly risqué for a production code-era film. With Sturges regulars Eddie Bracken and William Demarest.
THE LADY EVE, 1941, Universal, 97 min. Dir. Preston Sturges. Henry Fonda is dim-witted ale heir "Hopsy" Pike ("Snakes are my life."); Barbara Stanwyck is Eve, card sharp and con artist par excellence. Can this relationship work? Savage but never mean-spirited, this is Sturges at his best, blending violent slapstick, zesty dialogue and genuine romance into a peerless masterwork. With Charles Coburn, William Demarest, Eugene Pallette and Eric Blore.
