Add All About Steve to the List of Punful Movie Titles

All About Steve opens this weekend across the country. The title is a play on words of the classic 1950 film, All About Eve. In the movie's honor, I've assembled a timeline of movies that showcase lead characters names in the titles in both odd and clever pun-driven ways. Some of these may have been obvious to you, other puns might be so bad that you'll only realize them now.

In the early '30s, there was a popular movie called "Valiant Is the Word for Carrie." In response, the 3 Stooges made a short called "Violent Is the Word for Curly."

Rather a fan of puns myself, hence the name of my book...

I got Bill Pullman's autograph while he was filming "The Zero Effect". He's a really nice guy.
