Austin Film Society screening of the 1941 screwball comedy The Lady Eve, starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda, presented in 35mm.
AFS Cinema is screening The Lady Eve on Sunday, July 19, at 1:30 PM. It's part of their 'Essential Cinema: Four by Preston Sturges' series, so it's one of four Sturges films they're running back-to-back. The Lady Eve came out in 1941 and runs 94 minutes.
If you're not familiar with it, The Lady Eve is a quintessential screwball comedy. It's widely regarded as a triumph of writing, directing, and acting, and it's got two heavy hitters in the lead: Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck. Stanwyck, in particular, is noted for being brilliant in this role. The whole thing is presented on 35mm, so you're seeing it on film rather than a digital print.
For a bit of context on where this is happening, AFS Cinema is an ambitiously programmed repertory and first-run arthouse operated by the Austin Film Society, a 501(c)(3) non-profit founded in 1985 by filmmaker Richard Linklater. It's the kind of place that keeps a steady mix of old classics and new arthouse on the screen, and this screening fits right into that.
