Movie Review: Rings on Her Fingers (1942)

I checked this out with sort of a bad attitude, because I couldn’t imagine Gene Tierney being funny and I don’t usually care for Henry Fonda. But boy, was I wrong. It seems like a rip-off of the classic “Lady Eve” — OK, it obviously IS — but I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit more. The plot concerns Tierney luring affluent young men into marriage, then absconding with their money before the wedding. Fonda is her mark. But she falls in love with him instead. Go figure. Tierney is delightful, Fonda is fantastic, and the writing is first-rate. Glad I caught this one. It’s free on YouTube.
