The "dialogue is scintillating, characters... extraordinary, direction... perfect and production as fine as anything 20th Century Fox has turned out" in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "captivating" (Variety) Oscar winner for Best Picture.
From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (ANNE BAXTER) moves relentlessly towards her goal: taking the reins of power from the great actress Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS). The cunning Eve manoeuvres her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (GARY MERRILL), her playwright (HUGH MARLOWE) and his wife (CELESTE HOLM). Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar winner GEORGE SANDERS) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit.
THELMA RITTER and MARILYN MONROE co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards and received the most nominations (14) in film history.

All About Eve id definately, all about Eve. A wonderful character that hides her ego and determination to succeed, no matter what the cost, behind the demeanour of a beautiful woman. Not even the highly successful main characters can see through her manipulations until the end. However, they say it takes one to know one, and in this movie, Eve is simply following suit, learning from the masters, and beating them at their own game.
If you don't already know all about Eve then its time to rectify the situation. Bette Davis heads a fine cast in this movie about the theatre. Egos, blind ambition, backstabbings and other intrigues bubble away behind the scenes as the title, queen of the stage is hotly contested. And Eve, we really mustn't forget Eve.
