ALL ABOUT EVE
1950,
20th Century Fox,
138 min,
Dir: Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Seemingly timid fan Eve (Anne Baxter) ingratiates herself into Broadway mega-star Bette Davis’ inner circle in this backstage, backstabbing masterpiece by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Eve wastes no time stealing Davis’ spotlight and man (Gary Merrill), but Davis takes nothing lying down. A superb supporting cast (George Sanders, Marilyn Monroe, Thelma Ritter and Celeste Holm) brings New York's theater set to life. Winner of 6 Oscars, including Best Picture, Director and Screenplay. Edited by Barbara McLean. "Fasten your seatbelts...it’s going to be a bumpy night."
