The Lady Eve

Slothrop: There's a scene where the guy is romancing the girl, and they're standing in front of a horse, and it's a close up, and then the horse starts looking at the camera, so now you've got a love confession plus a horse, an aptly silly frame composition which tickled Slothrop silly with glee. And had Slothy been in the Garden of Eden, he would've told the rib and her apple to buzz off and leave him be, which would have saved us from the mess of these inter-sexual battles. But then we wouldn't have old screw-ball comedies with zip and pazzazz, would we, so perhaps it was for the best.
