The Lady Eve

A woman is on a journey. During her trip she runs into a former love, a man she hasn?t seen for years. Intrigue follows bringing with it danger, and the woman eventually puts herself at risk to protect the man. In the end, following endless chicanery and a murder, the two acknowledge their mutual love.

I completely agree with *ChipHeartsMovies* on: *?Meet Me in St. Louis when Judy Garland sings "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," then the father decides the family can stay in St. Louis. I also love the very final moments of the film, as the family watches the World's Fair lights up.?* Plus the other wonderful Garland songs: ?The Trolley Song? and ?The Boy Next Door.? I really think this was one of Judy?s best ? it?s my favorite of hers ? and one of my favorites period. The family life portrayed is ideal and idyllic. Can I go there now? One scene that stays with me: the very end of *Vertigo*, when Scotty (James Stewart) stands on the ledge of the bell tower and looks down to where Judy (formerly Madeleine) has fallen to her death. I have often thought he might just as well jump after her because his life is completely over now (having lost her twice at this point - and having completely lost his grip after the first time). It doesn?t matter at all that he overcame his vertigo. I also find the ending of *Notorious* memorable when, after much suspense and torment, Cary Grant finally extracts Ingrid Bergman from a South American Nazi enclave, slams the car door on Claude Rains and drives off with his wife. Rains then has to face his Nazi cohorts who now know something is up ? and, as we know, it?s surely the end of him. Speaking of Claude Rains (and *Casablanca*, mentioned in first post here) there's the famous last scene with Bogart as they walk away on the wet tarmac: "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship..." Perfection. and so many more...
