It Started with Eve is a 1941 musical romantic comedy film. A man's dying father wants to meet his new fiancée, but she is unavailable, so he substitutes a hat-check girl. Then the father unexpectedly recovers.
Charles Previn and Hans J. Salter were nominated for the Academy Award for Original Music Score.
It was remade in 1964 as I'd Rather Be Rich.
This is considered by most critic's to be Miss Durbin's best film, and the last in which she worked with the producer (Joe Pasternak) and director (Henry Koster) that had groomed her for stardom.
