3 Things

The Lady Eve [1941]

1. Barbara Stanwyck, annoyed: "Oh, go peel an eel!"
2. Two shot: she’s reclining, he’s sitting on floor. She’s mashed her face close to his and calmly plays with his hair. A long take. The more relaxed and casual she becomes, the more tightly-wound he becomes. His bowtie looks as if it might strangle him.
3. She drops her half-eaten apple from the upper deck and it lands squarely on his pith helmet.
