It Started with Eve is a 1941 American musical romantic comedy film starring Deanna Durbin, Charles Laughton, and Robert Cummings. Directed by Henry Koster, the film received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Music Score. The film is considered by some critics to be Durbin's best film, and the last in which she worked with the producer and director who groomed her for stardom. It Started with Eve was remade in 1964 as I'd Rather Be Rich.

Production

The film was originally known as Almost an Angel. Joe Pasternak announced he would make the picture in 1938 as a vehicle for Danielle Darrieux. Ralph Bock and Frederick Kohner wrote a script. Then in 1939 Franciska Gaal was announced as star.

The film was eventually never made – the title was transferred to another project by Pasternak in December 1940 which would become It Started with Eve. Henry Koster was chosen as director and L Fodor and Norman Krasna wrote the script.

In February 1941 Charles Laughton signed on. The following month Deanna Durbin agreed to co-star; plans to put her in Ready to Romance with Charles Boyer were abandoned.

Filming started 27 May 1941, just after Durbin returned from honeymoon for her first marriage.

Pasternak announced during filming that he would be leaving Universal after 16 years. He later wrote about it in his memoirs:
