Definitely the same dame!

I love The Lady Eve, it and Libeled Lady are not given their rightful due IMO.

And I totally agree that the mid-'30s to the late '40s saw more classic and entertaining movies made than any other period in the history of filmdom. (Although I must confess an almost equal love for movies of the '80s. Too many to mention, but it was an incredible decade for movies. Body Heat, The Princess Bride, Stand by Me, The Terminator, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Romancing the Stone. The list is endless. I didn't even scratch the surface!)

But, that earlier period still stands alone. Hell, 1939 alone saw more great movies made than have been made in most decades!
