Movie Reviews of All About Eve (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Movie Review: An American Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who has not seen this movie is missing one of Hollywood's greatest movies ever produced. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, and deserved every one of them. Bette Davis has never been better as Margo Channing, the shimmering stage actress who's candle is just beginning to dim, as she reaches the age of 40. The supporting cast are all perfectly "cast".
George Sanders as the slimy theater critic Addison DeWitt.
Gary Merrill as the director of Margo's plays; and also her boyfriend.
Hugh Marlowe as the playwright for most of Margo's greatest performances.
Celeste Holm as Marlowe's wife and Margo's best friend.
Thelma Ritter as Margo's housemaid and personal assistant
Marilyn Monroe as a wannabe actress
And Ann Blyth as the inibitable Eve Harrington.
Nothing beats this script for wit, sarcasm and dry humor. I own a copy but still watch it every time its on television.
I could watch it once a week, it's that good.
Summary of All About Eve (Two-Disc Special Edition)
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.Showered with Oscars, this wonderfully bitchy (and witty) comedy written and directed by Joseph?L. Mankiewicz concerns an aging theater star (Bette Davis) whose life is being supplanted by a wolf-in-sheep's-clothing ingenue (Anne Baxter) whom she helped. This is a film for a viewer to take in like a box of chocolates, packed with scene-for-scene delights that make the entire story even better than it really is. The film also gives deviously talented actors such as George Sanders and Thelma Ritter a chance to speak dazzling lines; Davis bites into her role and never lets go. A classic from Mankiewicz, a legendary screenwriter and the brilliant director of A Letter to Three Wives, The Barefoot Contessa, and Sleuth. --Tom Keogh
