Movie Description
Given that she throws tantrums, gets intoxicated, and pushes people away when she needs them the most, it's a wonder New York theater star Margo Channing has any true friends. But when Eve Harrington, Margo's young and innocent-seeming protégée, schemes to gain both the affection of Margo's friends and a starring role originally written for Margo, the actress discovers just who is in her corner--and who is not. Released in 1950, ALL ABOUT EVE's power radiates undimmed through the years. The role of aging stage star Margo Channing is considered by many to be the best of Bette Davis's career, as Davis reveals and conceals Margo's vulnerabilities with a skill seldom seen onscreen. Anne Baxter is also marvelous as the subtle Eve, whose glowing enthusiasm masks a cold, calculated ambition. Both actresses garnered Best Actress Oscar nominations, and the film in its entirety took 14 nominations, winning seven of them, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. George Sanders was awarded Best Supporting Actor for his biting portrayal of potent, nasty theater critic Addison DeWitt. Consistently listed among the best films of all time, director-writer Joseph L. Mankiewicz's ALL ABOUT EVE shouldn't be missed; the acting, writing, and directing are unequivocally brilliant.

      6 Oscars, Bette Davis, Anne Baxter & Mankiewicz Satire

    Ambitious actress Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) maneuvers her way into the lives of the temperamental Broadway star Margo Channing (Bette Davis) & her close friend, Karen Richards (Celeste Holm), playwright Lloyd Richards (Hugh Marlowe), Channing's lover & director Bill Sampson (Gary Merrill) & producer Max Fabian (Gregory Ratoff).

    The classic story (& 1951's winner of 6 Oscars, including Best Motion Picture, with both Davis & Baxter nominated for Best Leading Actress) of ambition & betrayal is famous American folklore. Bette Davis claimed to have based her character on the persona of Tallulah Bankhead. But, Davis' fans believe she was mocking her rival, Joan Crawford. Davis' legendary one liner is: "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night." Written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the script is a brilliant & brazen satire on the Hollywood jet set.

    As the story line goes, everyone but the cynical critic Addison DeWitt (George Sanders) believes that Eve (Baxter) is a sweet, naive, humble & obsessive admirer of Channing (Davis). However, Eve is anyone but! She'e more of an actress in their social encounters than Channing's friends realize. Eve manipulates them in order to achieve her acting career aspirations.

    This motion picture is considered to date one of the finest ever made. It consistently ranks in the top 80 of all time great films, even competing with new films. Davis & Merrill sharing the lead & supporting roles is simply scrumptious.
