Jean? Eve? What is the heroine's name?

There is a kind of movie whose main line of plot is terribly vulgar, but it has become extremely exciting under the brilliant writing of the director and the excellent interpretation of the actors. The Lady Eve is such a movie.
The following are some of the plots of my favorite movies. Shot 1: Soon after the opening, the rich boy Pike was eating in the dining room of the steamship, and countless women who wanted to marry a "golden-in-law" looked at him with soft, charming eyes, but empty skin. Underneath, what lies hidden is the essence of emptiness and hypocrisy. The inferior nature of human beings who love the poor and love the rich is fully exposed in this excellent interpretation of the lens. But our heroine Jean does the opposite. She carefully observes the performance of each competitor and accurately predicts Pike's reaction to the performance of these competitors every time. (God knows how she could be so great!) After that, he tripped Pike on purpose and refused to apologize after that. This kind of behavior actually hit Pike's love nerve accurately. This honest and accustomed to rouge and vulgar fan was so quickly attracted by this extraordinary temperament and stubborn personality, and soon fell in love.
Shot 2: Jean, who just wanted to cheat Pike's money, has already done a fake show. He really fell in love with Pike, but Pike discovered the truth that Jean was a female liar. He decided to break up with Jean and was suddenly hit by such a thunderbolt. Jean tries hard to redeem Pike's love for her. She told him how she tried every means to make him fall in love with her, but he felt that this was just a means she wanted to cheat him money. She told him that when he taught her father how to play cards (her father In fact, she is a master of this middle school), she has fallen in love with his sincerity and stubbornness. At this time he thought it was just that she thought he was honest and deceived. Yes! When you are in love, everything that happens between you is a sign of love, and when you no longer love each other, everything that happens between you becomes the reason why you should break up.
Shot 3: The lovers who had gone through twists and turns met again on a cruise ship. This time she really tripped him up accidentally. She called him "Hopise" by his nickname before "transforming", and he was called "Hopise". Before she "transformed" the name "Jean", they embraced and kissed each other. Love rekindled between them again. The movie ended in such a happy ending.
Regarding the details: This film was born in the 1940s, at the height of the implementation of the famous "Hays Code" (released in 1934), but director Preston Sturges's attitude towards sex in the film is quite bold, Barbara Stanwyck In the movie, the clothes are sexy (even with cleavage exposed), and the hero and heroine in the movie's finale both step into the dark room, which is also imaginative. At the beginning of the movie, the shot of the heroine wearing high heels is more sexually suggestive.
