Should I run or make her Mrs.? Trouble is. She reminisces. What a dizzy Eden this is!"; "Screenplay based on a story by Monckton Hoffe"; "Written and directed by Preston Sturges"; about a nerdy anthropologist on an ocean liner voyage, who gets swindled by an old gambler/cheat and his beautiful daughter, and later, she tries to do it again by impersonating a completely different woman, but he is sure she is the woman he met before) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette, Martha O'Driscoll, William Demarest, Eric Blore, Janet Beecher, Melville Cooper, and Robert Greig. Note that the credit "Screenplay based on a story by Monckton Hoffe" sounds reminiscent of a W.C. Fields credit for himself under a wacky pseudonym, but actually, Monckton Hoffe is a real man, who was an Irish playwright, who worked in Hollywood mostly in the late 1920s through the early 1940s, but "The Lady Eve" is far and away his most famous credit!

Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned a first release one-sheet from this classic 1941 movie, it auctioned for $8,500. This 1949 re-release was issued just eight years later, and yet it will sell for a fraction of that price, making it a very attractive alternative to someone who doesn't want to spend the money required to purchase the first release poster! Condition: good to very good. There are some faint water stains scattered along the edges of the poster (mostly noticeable in the blank borders). There is some degree of separation in the crossfolds and ends of some foldlines (the center and lower crossfold have been repaired with tape from the back). There are some creases and tiny tears and/or tattering around the blank borders of the poster and there is some grease pencil cross-out over the NSS ink pad stamp on the back at lower left that very slightly bleeds through to the front (noticeable in the "E" of "EVE" in the title at lower left. The poster is otherwise in pretty good condition and if after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
