Screwball comedy fans, you can't miss, "Easy Living." Written

174.22.4.52

by the inimitable Preston Sturges (dir. by the competent Mitchell Leisen) and starring arguably the greatest comedic female talent we've ever produced, Jean Arthur; Edward Arnold and Ray Milland round out the leads.
A wealthy dowager, whose latest extravagant purchase is a sable coat, so upsets her magnate husband that he tosses the item from their penthouse veranda--- and it lands on a working girl who finds her life turned upside down by the sudden windfall.
This film has several gut-busting laugh scenes, including one wherein she is shown a magnificent hotel suite and another during which a famous restaurant fight ensues.
Don't let this somewhat forgotten gem escape you.

She was one of the great actresses of Hollywood's golden age and quite a scene stealer.
