"...one of the liveliest, gayest, wittiest and naughtiest comedies..." - The New York Times
Directed by Mitchell Leisen
In director Mitchell Leisen’s delightfully frothy comedy, Eve (Colbert) is a showgirl who’s washed up in Paris without a penny. Crashing a party, she meets Georges Flammarion (Barrymore), who hires her to lure a French playboy away from his straying wife (Astor). Eve adopts the identity of a Hungarian countess, inspired by the Hungarian cab driver (Ameche) who pines to confess his love.
