## Description

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (ANN BAXTER) is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing (BETTE DAVIS). Eve maneuvers 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.

Review: All About Eve - Sometimes hearing the background story to a movie can be almost as interesting as the movie itself. This isn't quite the case of All About Eve which still remains a brilliant and highly entertaining film, but that doesn't make some of the backstage info less interesting. One tidbit to learn is that Zsa Zsa Gabor was in the running to play Miss Casswell in a role that ended up going to Marilyn Monroe. Her husband, George Sanders, landed the role of Miss Casswell's mentor Addison DeWitt. As a result Gabor kept popping up on set out of jealousy. (Ronald Reagan and his future wife Nancy Davis were also up for roles in the film as well.) All About Eve for a long time held the record for most Oscar nominations with 14. In 1998 Titanic became only the second movie in history to garner that many nominations, but All About Eve still holds the record for most female acting nominations. Of particularly ironic interest is the fact that up and coming actress Anne Baxter possibly pressured the higher ups to market her for a Best Actress Oscar rather than Supporting Actress. This has lead people to believe that the Academy's vote was split between her and her costar Bette Davis, allowing Judy Holliday to win the Best Actress Oscar for Born Yesterday. Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter) is a big fan of stage actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis), and when Margo's good friend Karen Richards (Celeste Holm) offers her a chance to meet her idol she jumps at the chance. Eve proves herself humble and idolizes Margo, and due to her past hard life, and the fact that she has nowhere to go, Margo moves her into her home and hires her as an assistant. Slowly Eve begins to move her way in with Margo's friends and colleagues and eventually tries to take her position on the stage. All About Eve is constantly listed in the greatest movies lists (#21 in Entertainment Weekly, #28 in American Film Institute, #85 on IMDb) and with good reason. This is one of those rare occasions where everything comes together to create the perfect storm. The script provides us a brilliant look backstage at the theater, using it to parallel the still somewhat newer form of film at the time. In this way the film is still prescient to our ideals of ageism, and to a lesser extent sexism, in film. The acting is impeccable. While everyone speaks highly of the performances given by Baxter and Davis, and they are extremely brilliant performances, the one that stands out to me is George Sanders as Addison DeWitt. Equal parts savvy and slimy, he commands and controls every scene he's in with a flair for control. Baxter must also be further mentioned for the subtleties of her performance. In order to reach the end effectively she must not give anything away, but when the truth of who she is comes out Baxter brilliantly reaches full bitch mode. All About Eve helped to resurrect the career of Bette Davis whose relationship with Warner Brothers had just failed after a string of box office failures. It also helped launch Baxter's career as a leading lady after a decade in supporting roles, as well as Marilyn Monroe who was a relative unknown at the time. This is a film of many pleasures including one of the greatest lines of dialogue of all time ("Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.") If you haven't seen this flick I highly recommend you pick it up and give it a try! 5/5 Be sure to check out: Armadillo & Sands: Intellectual Properties at Work !
Review: Superb -- See it if you don't know it - Among the best films ever made. Cannot get enough of George Sanders, one of the stars. But the entire cast is superb. (Oddly, the weakest link is Anne Baxter, who just overacts one too many times as Eve.) Knew the movie well before purchasing this two-disc set – purchased because the commentary interested me. There was little in the commentary new to me. The huge surprise was that Claudet Colbert had been slated to play Margo, a role Bette Davis filled (superbly) when a medical issue took Colbert out of the cast. The movie would have failed with Colbert (much s “Casablanca” would have failed with Ronald Reagan as Rick). One of my favorite scenes is the assemblage of the principals sitting on the staircase in Mago’s home. To me, it has always spoken to the real but tense intimacy among the playwright, director, actor, producer and ancillaries who need one another and understand that (even though they may not like one another). One of the film critics on the commentary disc saw the same scene as a beehive – well, no. Definitely not a hive and Margo definitely not a queen bee (hate that term). It’s all a lot more complicated than that. And Mankiewicz captured it beautifully.
