In keeping with our tradition of screening a classic film on Boxing Day, this year we present Preston Sturges' superb screwball comedy starring Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda.

Stanwyck is the card sharp who sets out to fleece earnest, accident-prone millionaire ophiologist (snake expert) Fonda on a liner from South America, only to fall in love with him. When he rumbles her and breaks off their romance, she poses as glamorous aristocrat Lady Eve Sidwich to try and win him back.
