Review of The Lady Eve (1941) by Scott Tobias for The A.V. Club — 01 Sep 1985
A star in every genre, Stanwyck epitomized both the steely femme fatale (Double Indemnity) and the heartbreaking melodramatic heroine (Stella Dallas), but her performance in The Lady Eve was the only one to showcase her full range of ability.
Her line readings sparkle with ruthless intelligence and wit, but she's also capable of surprising openness and vulnerability.
