Eve Lorraine: But why?
Arresting Policeman: That dance!
Eve Lorraine: It's perfectly respectable! It's in the Bible!
Arresting Policeman: Could be, but we go by the city ordinance - it's a later publication.

Not Worthy of Leaf

A Fig Leaf for Eve (1944)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

Eve (Jan Wiley) is on stage doing a sexual dance. While she's doing that her crooked boss calls the cops on her so that she'll be arrested and it will build up some advertisement. The woman gets bonded out and soon winds up in a plot of claiming to be a former child star who went missing.

The print I saw of this film was under the title DESIRABLE LADY but I'm sure this was released countless times other countless other titles. This was one of those roadshow exploitation films that had a poster with naughty images on it and the producers would cause enough of a storm to get people to pay money to see the picture. All of this is a great marketing ploy but the end result rarely lived up to the poster or the hype.

A FIG LEAF FOR EVE is another case where the advertisement and hype were much better than the film itself. I feel bad for anyone who paid top dollar to see this back in 1944 and expecting to see something raunchy. The film opens up with a tame (even for 1944 standards) dance and goes nowhere after that. There's nothing else remotely shocking and we've basically got a boring melodrama. The performances are mostly forgettable as is the direction and everything else. Even at 68-minutes this film drags pretty badly.
