A short comedy was the perfect film for me tonight. I become crazed at work, bored out of my mind from only staring at the soft, plush interior of my cubicle. Today I laughed loudly to myself like a manic because I was struggling to spell "schmutz" in an email, and Outlook knew how to spell it. Schmutz! Coming home to watch a comedy was pretty much what I needed. Today I watched
The Lady Eve, directed by Preston Sturges in 1941. Everything was funny and I was laughing too much as soon as the movie started. I fell in love in the first few minutes, when Jean, for no reason, drops an apple onto Charles Pike's head and the man behind Pike yells in shock. I love the combination of teasing sexuality she has and the humor of the movie. She is completely over the top but also so realistic and believable.
