The cuteness of "Mrs. Eve" lies in its agility, not only the clever conception of the plot, but also the smooth and vivid editing of the sound and pictures. Just relying on the charm of language, the effect of comedy will be greatly reduced, so the lens of comedy films should be more flexible, relying more on the screen to speak. The comedy of Stachys feels a bit like Billy Wilder, but it is more compact and relies more on the play of movie elements, using complex montages to tell comedy stories. Seductive laughter itself is a trick that requires careful calculation, so it is understandable to pay more attention to the lens and setting of the scene. The exquisite form is more conducive to capturing the subtle factors in the comedy. For example, when Mr. Parker returned to the passenger ship, the camera was switched between the chimneys of the two ships. The contrast between dilapidated and tidy and refreshing was in itself irritating, and then a horizontal long camera was used to express the lives of passengers on the ship’s side and pave the way for the plot. Not rigid. The changeable spatial perspective enhances the charm of comedy, such as Jane looking at the environment around Pike in a mirror on a boat. Use the camera to fully express the complex psychological activities and relationships between the characters, about love and deception, and the change of identity. There is also an exquisite scene. The colonel and Mr. Parker bet money again. Jane dealt cards on the side, forming a stable triangle structure in space, and the characters interacted with each other. Actually, the three people are liars, prey, and complicit conspirators who favor prey. Complex relationship. The lens is very detailed and complex, capturing the expressions and movements of the characters one by one. Parker is not aware of it. The colonel is scheming, and Jane quietly helps in secret. Such a complicated situation can be explained carefully and comprehensively through the screen. And fascinating.
Henry Fonda’s performance is very elegant, even if it is funny, it has a unique temperament. Although Barbara Stanwick is cute, she may have seen the relationship between "Double Compensation" and always feel that her eyebrows are strange. Dangerous, so I once thought that this story might end with revenge, but the ending is still a classic comedy reunion. But only this kind of ending is worthy of this kind of movie. The plot can be ups and downs and cleverly laid out, but the creed that I adhere to is still simple and beautiful emotions. Therefore, watching this kind of cute comedy now can feel a kind of warmth, detached from reality and contempt, the wonderful breath of the world that can only exist in words and images. Like that romantic scene in the movie history, Jane’s expression when holding Parker is really charming, a little unreal, but there are many styles, and the lingering sound will continue for three days. This elegant comedy has infinite charm like this cute girl.
