Comedy of a kind that doesn't get made any more (probably due to a lack of actors who can pull off this sort of thing).

Audience Reviews for It Started with Eve

Little known, but very entertaining movie. A guy must find a girl to be his girlfriend and meet his father before he dies. But everything falls apart when his father lives!

Probably my favorite Deanna Durbin film, and it benefits greatly from Charles Laughton's brilliant performance. Deanna is at her best. The story is cute. It may not be an original concept, but rarely has it been done this well. Great fun.
