Easy Living

The madcap misunderstandings pile up in this Preston Sturges -- penned screwball fairy tale that sparkles thanks to the light touch of director Mitchell Leisen. An effervescent Jean Arthur stars as the Depression-era working girl whose life changes suddenly when a $50,000 sable fur coat falls from the window of a Manhattan penthouse and lands in her lap -- leading to a whirlwind of mistaken assumptions, an all-expenses paid stay in a luxury hotel, and a memorable meet-cute with a charming waiter (Ray Milland) during one of cinema's most epic food fights.
